Yeah, I was somewhat surprised too, but I at least gotta give 'im creds for admitting his bias re Crosby..Seriously, the connections discussed are very interesting. The author's derogatory opinions of the musical talents of some of the people he discusses are less so.

In fact I even questioned his used of the term "Band Of Gypsies" as being anachronistic for 1967, but read it again and realized it was technically "accurate" (Buddy Miles was in the Band Of Gypsies even if they didn't exist for another couple of years yet), just semantically awkward.
Especially after I saw a pic of Tork with Buddy Miles:
OK, I just read a few more chapters in "Inside the LC", and......whoooooahhhh....the guy has definitely got an agenda that seems to keep circling back to why, if all our heroes kept getting busted, they never spent any serious time in jail or got drafted. (I haven't finished reading or seen a hard answer yet although implications seem to be pointing in a certain direction)
I question his lack of source citation, but boy, it's juicy reading.
But he's definitely got an agenda, keep it in mind.
I'll leave it at that.
