[Click to View YouTube Video]No one associated with Mr. Stills EVER made a mistake.
[Click to View YouTube Video]You be the judge. I was way too stoned when this came out to know good from studly. I think it's the latter, but understated.

[Click to View YouTube Video]Jimmy Smith's Wild Side is obivously more "This is my soul" than Al Kooper's work. And let's face it, the guitar on Supersession is not well-recorded, either. Stills may have been right when he said "farce." A bunch of super groups failed mightily. This tune was from the '62 Days of Wine & Roses.

Walter and Margaret Keane

Rod McKuen
Despite his popular appeal, McKuen's work has never been taken seriously by critics and academics or by much of the public. "...through the years his books have drawn uniformly unkind reviews. In fact, criticism of his poetry is uniformly vituperative..."
Guido, what's your take on McKuen? First of all, we can see he can't spell as well as you and your family. Second, I seriously doubt he ever led anything.
Did any of you you ever BUY one of his books or records for yourself? I know a lot of folks got Keane and McKuen junk as gifts. I call it junk. Some people calls it art. It sorta reflects the times from the viewpoint of Bank of America and White Front.
"Put McKuen's book in the bookcase over by The Little Bug-eyed Children painting, dear, next to that Stewart woman's books, dear."
