Trapped In The DMV (rare 60s folk vinyl)

Музыка

Late 1960s folk music group The Humming Byrds tried to keep themselves clean of politics but when band leader James Callypso disappeared for two weeks in 1968, they couldn’t stay silent any longer. “I thought I was a gonner,” Callypso said. “After the first week, food and water were scarce. I saw a guy drinking his own urine and a lady try to sell her baby to a man 10 places higher up the queue. I wanted to make a pact with the person next to me - that we’d inform each other’s loved ones if something happened to one of us - but went I went to ask him, he was already gone.” When asked if he had any advice for those looking to renew their driver’s license, all Callypso said was, “It’s the DMV. And the DMV is hell.”

    If this is what we as a society have collectively decided to do with AI, then I’m completely ok with AI.

    That harmony on "DMV" is so familiar - like the CSNY song Southern Cross 😅 spooky

    Picture looks like he sat down alone after the counter shut, just to play this sad tune 👏🏻
