Not every Rock & Roller can combine various elements of reggae & country western hip licks on guitar with a combination of exotic World vocals , a dissonant choir , an overly bodacious Rock drummer , two bass guitarists , & even toss in a symphony orchestra in this extremely loose , kind of Jazzy / Grateful Dead style of an extended jam session ~ recorded in mono at my Ashram / Asylum whilest partying like a maniacal rock star with his final death wish ~ on a week long binge that has no ending in sight , & very well might continue well into the next couple of years ~ and actually look this good doing it ...... . . . It's tough being me ~ but someone's gotta do it !!!!!! http://musicnation.com/music/thealtruistic/its-always-better-to-have-a-5th-in-november-than-the-other-way-a
