...damned game in the first place. Not like some of the guys, anyway. Christ, there was one dude who was convinced that every block he threw was a steppingstone to a contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The new arrangements were made long and drawn out by the liberal use of a screaming, powerful Hammond organ and a perhaps too heavy use of fuzz box and wah-wah pedal. The songs were full of three part vocal harmonies and surprising changes in rhythm. But most of all they were psychedelic...
