Radio play is amazingly selective.  Who remembers anything from
America's first album except "Horse with No Name" - or Emerson,
Lake & Palmer's first album except "Lucky Man"?

There's a lot of wonderful music out there that nobody will ever hear.

'Monster/Suicide/America'  Steppenwolf

Somehow it doesn't get the airplay that 'Born To Be Wild' does.

Nice.  My favourite of theirs is "Black Pit" from "For Ladies Only".
Every now and then I'll put it on and ask people to identify who
did it.  Stumps them every time.

My favorite from that album is 'Tenderness'.  I bought a lot of vinyl in 
those days but for some strange reason I remember buying 'Steppenwolf'. My 
wife was going to SUNY Albany at the time and we wound up in the college 
bookstore. I was idly flipping through the records and saw the album. I 
had no idea about the band, the cover art wasn't captivating, and 'Easy 
Rider' was in the future but I was reading Hesse and bought it. The 
synchronicity or whatever worked out well. Much better than the movie.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steppenwolf_(film)

If you can find it lurking in some dark corner be forewarned it is 
strange. 

I lose track of the years but Kay played here at the fair one year. It 
wasn't billed as Steppenwolf. iirc there was some legal wrangle going on.

'For Ladies Only'?  with the penis on wheels?


I meant the first album, 'Steppenwolf'

https://vinyl-records.nl/hard-rock/steppenwolf-self-titled-vinyl-lp-
album.html

Nothing outstanding for a '68 album cover, certainly not like the Blind 
Faith album in '69 or 'Sticky Fingers'.

   Hey ... the Band often has little input ... the promoters
   have 99.9% control and Aim To Entice/Please the buyers.

   It's basically "selling candy"  :-)

   Look into stuff Sharon Osbourne has said over time ... her
   daddy was one of the promoters .....

   As for Steppenwolf ... they did some good stuff and some
   forgettable stuff. The "theme" of "Monster" WAS good ...

   "Giant Penis" ... came across something yesterday on
   "Greek Reporter" - about a big women-only celebration
   way back when. One of the traditional props were
   6-foot-tall "penises" ... some of which had dildos
   strapped to the sides. There was a pic on a ceramic
   plate .....

	The Nation of Japan used to have phallic representations all over the
place. After the Emperor was restored and European culture began to
intrude the phallic idols began to be removed and now have their own
sacred reservation where people seeking divine intervention for fertility
problems go to pray and make offerings to the deities in charge of 
reproduction.
Fertility is very important to a pre-scientific culture and actually the 
basis of all
cultures even our own.  But the Japanese were not the only ones as you gaze
at the bell towers of Christian churches all over the world, the minarets of
mosques, etc.  Skyscrapers though secular may be the result of fertility
rather than a supplication for greater fertility.

    The USA has maybe THE biggest dick in the world, prominently
    figured at the govt center in DC. You can ascend to the tip,

We ran into weather while flying in Montana a few years ago.
We decided to set down at the nearest airstrip and wait for the
weather to pass.  That airstrip happened to be at Anaconda -
we dodged the stack on the way in.  It's an impressive landmark.

These (at 500ft each) are almost as tall:

They're visible from the entire Monterey bay shoreline,
from Santa Cruz to Pacific Grove.

If we're talking about big stacks, we might as well
go for the granddaddy of them all:

When I was coming back from six days on the road I was happy to see it. It 
wasn't home, but close enough.

Six days is optimistic; I was usually out for 3 weeks.
