    From how I’ve always imagined them sounding in my head, I think you get Pig and Garcia pretty spot on.

        There’s an old show on the archive (florida, 68ish I think). Some outdoor show and people are climbing on the speaker scaffolding. Pig spends a few mins trying to tell people to get down cause they will get electrocuted. No one listens and he finally says “Oh hell, do what you want!” It is hilarious.

    John’s Lovelight Rap is going to be about creeping teenage bloggers.

    And let’s be honest plenty of pigpen’s raps are equally pervy so we should not complain when goes there.

    I never could relate when Pig tells me to be a “hound” chasin a “fox” and I am not just sayin that to keep Maggie from sic’ing Obama on me.

      Pigs raps were very much of their time.

    • maggiemay

      I’m not going to sick Obama on y’all. Just stay away from teenage girls

    Looks like a Europe 72 crowd; that not how American crowds looked at all.
