...style that dazzled flower-powered San Francisco in 1967 at the debut of his band. They rivaled even the most luscious psychedelia of the time with their low key vocals and cosmic instrumentals. Their drums hammered out traditional rock while their guitars varied between folk, jazz and Jimi Hendrix. Santana made songs like "Jingo,"Evil Ways," "Black Magic Woman" and "Oye Como Va" famous after winning spectacular acclaim for their appearance at Woodstock...
...into it now, too. It's got the makings of an international conspiracy. It's the lowest musical common denominator since the bongo drum; Sonny and Cher, Hall and Oates, Stiller and Meara, Leopold and Loeb, local starving artists in the street, they're all into it.

Sly was going to be there, man. Hendrix (RIP). And Country Joe and the Fish, man. The Fish, did you hear me? Dylan couldn't come only because he was recuperating from his (and the world's) accident, so he sent Baez! The next best thing!! So in that crazy, turbulent sea of mud and peace and love...
