ZFarrar :No I think we should thank Waxburn, for his blind loyalty in spite of the reality of things.
Wax played such an instrumental part in Arthur Lee & Love's return, in spite of his rather low IQ.
ZFarrar :however your labeling me
You seem to be the one who is so skilled at labeling people. I chose the wrong word, I think bully is far more descriptive,and childish, which you will
likely choose to prove with more sardonic retorts.Relax, be cool,
Zfarrar :BTW how can any thinking person be critical of Baby Lemonade after all they did to bring Forever Changes to the forefront 35 years after release is beyond me.
And surely my calling you out over all the needless heckling of waxburn couldn't possibly lead you to believe I am critical of Baby Lemonade.Nothing could be farther from the truth.Don't trip

I suggest that you read the diaries and the posts. I would have never heard of Baby Lemondade if not for Arthur Lee, I wish them
success in their forthcoming tour. |

| Many people had never heard of Forever Changes or Arthur Lee if it was not for Baby Lemonade. I guess it goes both ways. |

I don't have any idea what anybody else knows. I know that I would never would have heard of Baby Lemonade had in not been for Arthur Lee. BL had nothing to do with FC it was recorded in the 60's.
Personally, I would have felt privileged to be onstage with AL
performing that material, but then again, thats is just me.
I am sure BL will soon be a great success. |

| Poetry, the point about being critical of BL was aimed at Waxburn, not you. You jumped in here, I have no idea who you are except for some absurd point you attempted to make on the money collected at the LA benefit. Waxburn: of course BL felt privaleged to play with AL, however this is where you the fan, and BL the performers split. They had to deal with the day to day that wasn't so pleasurable. Deal with it, or chose to live in a fantasy world. |

"Deal with it?"
No I am not really interested in the day to day, I am interested
in LOVE music. LOVE=Arthur Lee. Then and Now- everywhere outside
of this forum, which is ironic. |

As a long term fan,I have always felt that the big problem for Arthur was the post Monterey rise & rise of Jimi Hendrix,with the post-FC Arthur looking for new directions,but spending too much of his energy emulating Jimi (in common with many other musicians at the time).In doing so,I feel that he lost sight of his own vision,and could not again touch the poetic space that he,and the band brought forth on FC.That said....few artists can even dream of producing such a work.
...and Waxburn,I have to ask,just where does Bryan Maclean fit in your scheme of things?

JR: Great post and analysis of AL. The irony is Bryan wrote the most famous Love tune of all.
But I have to give Arthur credit in that incredible version of "Old Man" which he performed
in the last 3-4 years. What I am waiting to see is any move from the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, of course they waited for Frank Zappa to pass on before they rewarded him, maybe this is what it will take unfortunately. |

Bryan and Johnny E were and are great talents, however, for
whatever reasons they opted out of the band-while Arthur carried on for many more albums and performances. I beleive that AL was the only member of LOVE to be on every record, and 99.00 percent of
their live shows. Just go to anyone familiar with rock and roll
and utter the word Love and right away they will utter back "Arthur Lee". |

I just want to personally thank Baby Lemonade for keeping
the flame burning for all these years. Thank you gentlemen.
Your efforts on behalf of Arthur and the music helped bring
it to a new generation of fans. |
