I once heard that this song was about the creation of "The Monkeys" - any truth to that?

From a photo of "Toots" Thielemans, guitarist with the George Shearing Orchestra (and jazz harmonica player extraordinaire!), holding one at a guitar show. Interesting chain of events... |

Sounds like Coltrane. Oh, wait! That was 8 Miles High... This one sounds like McGuinn on guitar.

Dated, but a classic that is still memorable and listenable.

Agreed. I could also do without the goofy horn, to be honest.
Still, it's a great song, even victimized as it was by bad production contrivances, and there is a rippin', really live version of it on Byrds' Untitled that kicks the carp outta this one. |

Interesting... Thinking about it now, there's a lot of this from this era. Stereo recently invented? Few people listening with headphones? certainly no RP - those poor 60's people didn't know they were born... |
