I seem to remember that this song's instrumental section went on for an extended period. One of those "DJ in bathroom" songs... It always came on as I was driving home...


Very nice selection-playlist today... Thanks

Yeah...this one melts my mind back to a day that turned into a weekend that turned into an Odyssey that is still without end...late 1983, Boulder...it was indeed The Season of The Witch!

Yep, he's gone and written a song to rhyme with my motorcycle suit - it's called an "Aerostich".

Strongly agree!  What a nice idea.

 Supersession - 1968... Season of the Witch was without Bloomfield, was with Stills.

Donavan started out a cheap British imitation of Dylan, but developed his own groove - quite successfully as in this song.  Love the contrived rhyme  "two rabbits running in a ditch" - nothing to do with the song at all!

Loved this in the final scene from "To Die For".  Illeana Douglas skating over Nicole Kidman's corpse in the dead of winter......chilling!

Why cover the original if you bring nothing new to the song? A paycheck perhaps? The Luna cover reminds me of Modern English covering themselves with "Melt With You." An inferior attempt at an exact copy. Blech!
