A Not Very August Afternoon - The Beacon Street Union


I was 16 in 1968. Boston was my hometown. The two best bands were Ultimate Spinach and Beacon Street Union. I attended several of their concerts on Cambridge Commons. The girls there had long hair and didn't wear bras. None of them were fat. My high school friend Jim Lally and I lied about our age. Neither of us got lucky with the co-eds. this afternoon I played several song from BSU's 2nd LP THE CLOWN DIED IN MARVIN GARDENS. The best is A Not Very August Afternoon. It'll make you feel very hippish, whihc is not a bad thing of a sunny Sunday afternoon.
