When Rock & Roll Came to Arkansas

Recently, it has become possible for man to chemically alter his mental state and thus alter his point of view. He can then restructure his thinking and change his language so that his thoughts bear more relation to his life and his problems, therefore approaching them more sanely. It is this quest for pure sanity that forms the basis of the songs on this album.

How simple things once seemed. When you got tp about 14, and began to realize how uptight and plastic your parents were, you just slouched around with a Dylan album under your arm and a sullen scowl on your face. Later you might discover a few books: Siddhartha, The Way of Zen, maybe even Leary�s exotic manual of inner-space exploration, The Psychedelic Experience (based on the even more exotic Tibetan Book of the Dead). After a while there were groups like the Airplane on the radio, telling us to feed our heads. It was such an obvious yet satisfyingly esoteric answer to the Great Question, and it seemed like we were all somehow in on a colossal secret. It had to be the start of something big.
