*** Street Fightin’ Man
Editors’ note: While the Beatles are copping out, the Rolling Stones are running a hard line. The following is part of the lyrics from their latest record:
CHORUS:
But what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock n roll band.
Guess in a sleepy London town,
There’s just no place for a street fighting man.
Hey, think the time is right for a palace revolution.
But where I live the game to play is
compromise solution.
CHORUS
Hey, said my name is called Disturbance.
I’ll shout and scream,
I’ll kill the king.
I’ll rail at all his servants.
*** Wizards split
Ted Lucas and Richard Keelan, performing until recently as the Misty Wizards have gone their separate ways. The two had performed all summer in a coffee house at the Stratford Shakespearean Festival. The two were the last of the Spikedrivers, Detroit’s first psychedelic rock band.
Ted was philosophical about the breakup, “We didn’t have a big hassle, we just decided to each do our own thing. Now I’m able to perform all of my own compositions and do improvisational material,” he said.
Ted is doing a steady gig at the Chessmate Coffee House on Livernois every Monday and Wednesday night. I’ve been playing and experimenting with a lot of different instruments. During a night’s performance I play acoustical guitar, sitar, zither, bouzoukee, and auto harp. I’ve dug playing and think the audience has liked it too.”
