megan - I do not have ANY of those. feel free to wait until he arrives. I think the mixes I am making will only be on my iPod. I do not plan to take a computer or a CD player since bag space will be a huge issue (orphanage supplies going over and items from Ethiopia for our house on the way back). IOW - THANKS!
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I know the Beatles really popularized it and the Stones jumped on the bandwagon (and then jumped off shortly after) - how many other popular rock groups of that era used the sitar?
I'm reading Marianne Faithfull's autobiography now (great read, incidentally! Drugs! Sex! Dressing up in funny costumes! Travel to exotic locations! Gossip!) and they certainly listened to a lot of sitar. It was de rigeuer for dropping acid. But using sitar in pop songs wasn't nearly as common as other sixties musical fads like the electric harpsichord (my fav) or the Moog.

You forgot "Mars Bars!".

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I posted a cover of "Black is Black" by Lord Sitar a while back on buffistarawk.

Heh. She goes off on the Mars Bars incident. To paraphrase, "It's so stupid. It's what martini drinking old men would think is the sort of thing you'd do when you were on acid."
The best parts are her adventures with Anita Pallenberg who's just the most over-the-top and around-the-bend, decadent Black Queen you can imagine.

Hey, to paraphrase ...LIBERTY VALANCE, when the lurid rumour is better than the truth, print the rumour.

This I can totally believe. I really must get my hands on a copy of that Faithfull book.
On a tangential note, if you could be any swinging-60s celeb for a day, say via a BEING JOHN MALKOVICH type scenario, who would you be?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Julie Andrews or Bobby Darrin, maybe.

See now this is the kind of question that causes me to make a list and break it up geographically:
London
David Bailey (mod photographer. Basis for David Hemmings character in Blow Up, and also the archetype for Austin Powers cover)
Andrew Loog Oldham (a madman, but a very hip one)
Keith Moon (particularly for his birthday when he drove a car into a pool)
Terence Stamp (pulled more birds than anybody in the sixties - including Julie Christie)
New York
Candy Darling (just to be that glam)
Edie Sedgwick (let's just presume the one day would have a particularly fabulous cocktail of drugs and drama and I wouldn't have to be around for the hangover and the self-loathing later)
Gerard Malanga (I'd need the whip)
West Coast
Jimmy O'Neil (host of Shindig)
Russ Tamblyn (after he'd stopped making exploitation movies, and become an artist out in Laurel Canyon)
Bruce Conner (when he was shooting Breakaway with Toni Basil)
Gene Clark
South
Either Dan Penn or Spooner Oldham during some great session in Memphis. Dusty or Aretha.
