And the teacher nev-er noticed! 

Reminds me of freshman Social Studies—too many kids in one class, bright ones mixed in with mouth-breathers. At one point, Mr. Benedetti, our potbellied and solidly mediocre teacher, called on David Bruns in the front row. Unfortunately Bruns was on some powerful trip that kept him slack-jawed, cross-eyed, deaf and dumb. We all just watched him—slowly rocking and forth in his chair, barely conscious, unable to say anything.

Someone in the back said something like "Burrnnnt!" and yes, David sure was stoned out of his mind. I'm hoping your highs weren't as intense, dannyboy57.

Absolutely, and yes Bill, I checked the playlist off the Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonius and you've never played my absolute favorite green song off this album, Nature's Way. Must be a personal reason because the song is like an anthem to many of us, though the hidden meaning in the song could have deeper sorrow than I understand.
 
...no, surely we've heard nature's way here on radio paradise - maybe it only entered rotation since the big oil spill last year, though, after your comment?..

No offense meant, but I appreciate the insta-sorries for this style of music.  Definitely not my flava.

This album was released 5 years before I was born, so I had never heard it before. I thought it was Chris Cornell! Sounds like it was recorded more recently than 1970.
 

Funny. And I knew it was Spirit but swore Chris walked into the song and started screaming too!

that's what's fun about RP - they play the song after the song on the album that you'd expect to hear.

Funny, I was just thinking this could have been recorded today. Maybe minus the organ.

No doubt these guys were a direct influence on Soundgarden.  It is amazing how similar they sound...someone needs to update the Music Style and Influences section in the wikipedia entry for Soundgarden.
 
Couldn't agree more.  Definitely not a bad band to be influenced by!
