Can't remember whether I enjoyed it better stoned or tripping. Everytime I hear this song memories come flooding back.

For me, summer is hot, sweaty, unpleasant, and way too long. It's not like when I was a kid, and got three months off to do whatever I wanted. It's a slog.

I can't wait for winter. The kind of days I used to hate when my family moved to the Northwest, cold, gray, rainy, I love now. Can't wait for the those days again.

This song was a soundtrack for the time, one of many. I was 20 and headed off to Berkeley for Cal in January 1974. Lived in a camp trailer on a 54 acres parcel on a Wild and Scenic River that was a CCC camp in the 1930s. We both worked for the US Forest Service. Had a 1956 Willy's jeep. Lived with my first serious love. We went to Berkeley and San Francisco to look for a place to live and saw the Dead at Winterland.

5 to 1 Backside of the Waiting for the sun album. I was in Germany in the 60's and a guy told me the Doors weren't radical enough. I think this tune gets the point across.
