peter green's fleetwood mac

the guy in the vids who looks like joe vano is peter green, the one guy from the whole '60s brit blooze boom that had the originality (and the balls) to go head-to-head with b.b. and jimi and not come away ashamed. i also like the fact that he's singing a song about jerking off ("rattlesnake shake") on playboy after dark.



similarly, i like the fact that he's so amused by his own lyrics to "oh well."



cat definitely had his contemplative side (like thisun, "man of the world"). in the fullness of time, he freaked his way out of the music biz, gave away all his money, became a gravedigger. the band he formed went on to garner much '70s fame 'n' acclaim and provide bill clinton's inauguration ball song, but i don't think that the menlo atherton high school edition of the band was ever as good as this.
