that was my favorite growing up.... then I grew up. Realized it was the spawn of some serious induced 'introspection' via the doors of perception and... incidentally, liked it even more.

...it just didnt have that same edge like when I was younger.

Mercedes announced that they have received 30,000 orders for the new 2014 S-Class in just 90 days. Not too shabby.

Is that just in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia?


The dealers around here are trying like mad to sell the new CLA, and from what I have heard, not getting too much traction...

...even though they are "V A L U E Priced from just $29,900 !!!!!" per the radio ads around here

Dealers in other areas can't keep inventory on hand for test drives, so YRMV.

I just downloaded "Eight Miles High" by The Byrds. Still holds up pretty well for a 49-year-old song.

Were you doing any "extra-curricular" activities at the time you played this? (both when it came out and this past weekend?)

I'm going through a funk at the moment, and have The Byrds, Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Grateful Dead, and Cream playing for some good vibes.

I was in grade school when this song first came out, so I'm pretty sure that I wasn't dropping acid or anything like that.

My first concert attendance of the 2015, The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain! Mostly comedy, but great artistry on four strings . . . don't go for the singing.

Now touring the westerns states of "the colonies."
