Today, 47 years ago, kicked off the Summer of Love with the Monterey Pop Festival. The festival is remembered for the first major American appearances by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Who and Ravi Shankar, the first large-scale public performance of Janis Joplin and the introduction of Otis Redding to a large, predominantly white audience.
California Radio Stations in the 1970s were prohibited from playing a version of this song, as the state police were concerned that motorists hearing the song on the radio could get confused and pull over.

I haven't heard this song in ages, and somehow it just appeals to me today.
Some good driving music for the bright and sunny weather of today.
I told my mama on the day I was born
Don't you cry when you see I'm gone
You know there ain't no woman gonna settle me down
I just got to keep traveling on
And I sing
Green, green, it's green, they say
On the far side of the hill
Green, green, I'm going away
To where the grass is greener still
You know there ain't nobody in the whole wide world
Gonna show me how to spend my time
You know I'm just a good loving, rambling man
Now, buddy, can you spare me a dime

Drinking lots of coffee on this Monday. I don't know how I could survive a day without the sound of a percolator doing it's magic. At one point I used a coffee press, but I still think a I prefer percolator coffee.
