   ivylander says This was one of the great albums of the late '60s. They were so empathic, for about eight months. Then Dino Valente showed up. I haven't rolled a joint in many's the long year, but just looking at that album cover.....

   El Monko and Son says Absolutely essential. Along with Surrealistic Pillow and Cheap Thrills, a first-rate primary document of the SF music scene, and one hell of a jam to boot. I tried to include "Who Do You Love" on a mix disc I sent to my best friend, whose taste I respect more than anyone else in the world except maybe Greil Marcus. The disc encompassed samples of all my favorite stuff that he was unfamiliar with, and I could not figure out how to fit it with the other stuff. I ended up sending the truncated version from "Greatest Hits," and he did not like it at all. I can only assume that it is a piece wherein one needs to see the big picture. In fact, you used some word for it like "pastoral" but better, to imply a large picture (but I can't go back to see it without starting over), and I think you really hit the nail on the head.

   El Monko and Son says Oh, you said "picaresque," meaning "related to a story in which a rogue is the hero." Well, that's true, too. But in my memory, in transmogrified into something like "picturesque," and I think the word I would use to express my thought here is "panoramic."

   RevUp64 says I hesitated to use the word picaresque but it was the only one I could think of that came close. Panoramic would, indeed have been a better choice =)
