As Far Back As Monterey


Albert told me ... “Everybody wants to go to Heaven but nobody wants to die” Stevie confessed ... “I made my living at white juke joints but had my fun outside” Kris reminded me ... “That freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose” Ray repeating over and over ... “Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through” Eric sang about Layla ... “She’s got me on my knees” And Jimi said what Bobby wrote ... “Along the watchtower can’t get no relief” Janis screamed ... “There’s a ball & chain that holds me to my man” But Dylan said it best himself ... “Don’t criticize what you can’t understand” (Memories Of Monterey & Woodstock: July, 2026)
