I can't believe she complained about how dude was dressed. Lame. Like being a cool
retro hippie means wearing the uniform of the past. First off Arthur Lee and the
original band were not really hippies. The Grateful Dead--those were hippies.
Arthur was like "hey my way or the highway" --Course he never changed. Other 60's
bands quite frankly were afraid of Love. Let me school ya, newbies. Cause I first
was introduced to the band when I was 10 in 1968. Met Arthur any number of times.
Know Randle, etc. Johnny Echols is the real deal. Not some guy in a tribute band.
More importantly Randle and company are the best version of Love since the
original guys broke up the band. I really like Jay Donnelan's playing and all,
but as Snoopy once said "after the original band broke up-the new version of
Love was not special" Didn't mean they weren't tremendous players, just that
Arthur-Bryan-Snoopy-Echols-Forrsi, & Stuart were really something special.
Baby Lemonade became Love, that's it. ALso newbies, realize that Bryan was
responsible for some of the best songs Love ever did. It wasn't just Arthur.

I'm very interested to hear your take on Arthur and LOVE when you met them in 1968. You're saying you were 10 years old then, so how were you turned on to LOVE, and what did you think of the music (and the scene) coming from a 10 year old's head.
Where did you meet them? Was it at the Whiskey?
Did you live near them?
Please tell me why you felt LOVE was so special?
When I was living in LA in '70, I was 21. Living in Laurel Canyon, I actually got to meet some younger guys that lived on the street (Wonderland). There was a grade school at the foot of Wonderland...I think it was called The Canyon or The Wonderland School. The kids were about 10 or 12, real long hair, and really quite cool. I remember a few of them digging Lee Michaels back then.
thanks
