The Chimes of Freedom






It all happened then kiddies.
there were no restraints on cultural production.
every new song was NEW.
not some shit conjured up with pro-tools and whole lot of synthetic beats and vocoders and wimp women with carrots up their asses.
people did it themselves.
and they meant it.
anyway the songs still retain all their potency.
some of Keiths shit is a bit difficult because of the ambiguous open chords and voicings and his amazing rhythm figures.
However if you persevere then a whole world of wonder opens up.
anyway. 
One of my absolute favourite songs  is Bob Dylans "My Back Pages" from the Byrds Play Dylan album.
Pick that melody line up and play it going up, and coming down.
play it it in the kitchen.
play it in the hall!
hehehehehehehe.
