A further historical note of interest to music fans: as documented in one of the Rolling Stones expose books, the Stones were on tour across California in late1969. (This was the same tour that produced the amazing "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out" live album, from NYC shows.)
ReplyDeleteAt some otherwise unknown "college town" concert in California, Calvin Girvin arrived with a couple of other UFO lecturers at a Rolling Stones post-show party. Stones' opening act Ike Turner met the UFO lecture group (other group members are currently unknown) at a bar and insisted that they come to the party with him that night after the concert.
Apparently Mr Girvin made a big hit on several of the Stones and close friends at the party, and stayed, discussing his ideas and sightings, and his experiences with the Space Brothers, until dawn. Within days, Leon Russell and Ry Cooder were trading musical riffs and funny lyrics about "the Mon-Ka Man." But by the time the song appeared, now by the usual Stones' writing lineup, on the album "Let It Bleed," the title of the track, and the focus of the lyrics, had changed, as we all know.
Full disclosure: the history limned out above is based very largely on telepathic communications with people who declined to give their names, interviews conducted by ouija board, and insightful supposition based on essentially nothing.
And THAT, my friends, is one of Uncle Ken's Least-Loved Bedtime Stories. You're welcome. ;-) ken ac4rd
