Tim's Tent

[Leopolds Ghost]

37. Two things

1. Screw Warner Music for taking down the superior CSNY version of "Wooden Ships" (the Woodstock version, silly) from Youtube and everywhere else so they can sell the inferior studio versions and the not-as-good Jefferson Airplane version. They been censoring the Woodstock live recordings in favor of the studio songs, apparently since the very beginning -- the Woodstock double album almost didn't get made. And I have no way to put it on mp3 yeah I know the old recording sounds better, but you can't post a link to it... and I can't find one anymore.

2. An old hippie friend of mine who used to be overseas told me that they dumped tons of gold bullion off the side of that ship that a prominent South Vietnamese general was trying to smuggle out of the country. The reason? They needed to make way for the entire inventory of the Americans' favorite off-base storekeeper who was fleeing the country, since he sold liquor to every officer and agent in Saigon. Tee he hee!!! Friendship is food and drink and a little something on the side, presumably.

Not a hippie or anything, mind you I just grew up in a "post-60's" community...
