I think that people are the greatest fun


Arthur Lee of Love passes.

Sadly, unless you were around in the late 60's or you're a music obsessive (like me) then you've probably never heard the greatest psychedelic album of all time, Love's "Forever Changes".



Rock, flamenco, pop, folk, soul and funk all mixed into one. Here's a good song-by-song dissection. The whole album is gold, and that's rare enough these days, but those first three songs, "Alone Again Or", "A House Is Not A Motel" and "Andmoreagain" are, simply put, genius.

RIP, Arthur Lee.
