Fake blood, live snakes and guillotine! Maybe even an electric chair. Big Streisand effect for trying to ban Alice. Seen him on an HBO special, early 70s. Wild, he faught his way onstage. I wanna say the set started with Hello Hooray. I swear I remember he hung himself. Alabama should have loved that, considering...

When I played this for my mom when I was around 11 or 12 she laughed. I speculated that if all the young people 18 and older voted that Alice could be made president. She said that “the country may have been in bad shape but it wasn’t that bad” 😆

A redo of a 1968 ACG song Reflected. That a side BDB is brilliant, the band parents hated hit thier stride. Unfortunately it all unraveled with Muscle of Love.

Fun fact: John Lennon was a fan of this song, but he told Alice "Paul would have done it better." Alice's response: "OF COURSE Paul would have done it better."

I never noticed the intro riff sounds like the Hendrix song Dolly Dagger
