I played Good Laugh for Brian Wilson when I got to hang out
with him. No reaction at all. Later I found out the Groovies
used to go over to his place in CA, but he never mentioned
knowing them.

Glad to hear that, Ken. Save it.
It may be worth big bucks some day. LOL

The live shows were WAY different from the records. The bass
player had a freakin MOHAWK the first time I went. They were
VERY heavy metal live as they were strictly a trio without
the benefit of the 4000 overdubs they employed in the studio.
I still love the records though. I have all their CDs, and some
are much better than others. One of the really weird things about
them is their roots are extremely spiritual i.e. their early
lyrics are biblically themed. Didnt affect the music though.
If you have to hear just one track it would be "It's Love". If you
hear that and can walk away, you're a better Beatlefan than I am.
