To Be Immortal And Then Die

 It’s truly awful to find out in the wake of their death that an artist you admired, and whose work you loved and learned from, held vile views.

The Grateful Dead and Black Sabbath, not to mention Traffic, José Feliciano, Free, and Shagrat (which featured Steve Peregrin Took, Mick Farren and Larry Wallis), on the same bill in 1970. The night before ain’t too shabby either.

Botanic Therapy

 Even war cannot stop the creation of art: track from Ukrainian psychedelic band The Landscape’s just released album.
