REMEMBER THE WIND AND THE RAIN – CD / Vinyl
*The Legend Of The U.S.S. Titanic*
It took me a little bit to figure out how to tackle this thing; Basically, “Remember The Wind And The Rain” is a pleasant but not particularly interesting folk album with a MASSIVE 13 minute surprise stuck right in the middle. Imagine you have just arrived at a party full of interesting characters: One wants to talk politics (Talking Green Beret New Super Yellow Hydraulic Banana Teeny Bopper Blues), one is desperately in love (Suzzane), one is suicidal (Bag On The Table). As you are making your way through these various party-goers, you run straight into the most amped-up speed-rapping over-the-top hippie you have ever met in your entire life. That hippie has a hell of a story to tell; Welcome to “The Legend Of The USS Titanic”!
In the late sixties, the original LP containing this song sold over 100,000 copies on the East Coast and was regularly played UNEDITED on FM stations. I heard it in 2001 and it took several years for me to track it down. It was worth the wait, to say the least.
“SHEEEEEEEEEIT, baby, I ain’t makin’ rope no more!”
