“collective cultural memory of the music of 1969” - Wasn’t the highest charting song that year “Sugar Sugar”?

I have no plans whatsoever to see the Zefferelli Romeo & Juliet…all I know about it is that I’ve seen opinions on it go all over the place. Of course, watching it high school, nudity included (hey, they showed Clash Of The Titans in my 7th grade English class, which has Andromeda’s butt and I think everybody hooed and hawed over the breast-feeding bit…fucking Midwesterners!) would have been preferable to what we DID actually do, which was to watch the Baz Lurhhman one, a movie I don’t think I’d be able to watch 10 minutes of without bursting into peals of ringing, unintentional laughter at the sheer 90s tackiness of it all. You heard that right!!!

I didn’t know what “Chushingura” met but then I read the Wikipedia article. Thanks, Wikipedia!!

I’d have preferred if the album included the ridiculous Zappa/Grace Slick collaboration “Would You Like A Snack,” which is about eating women out. At least by having Slick do the vocals it stuck in my memory more than the typical godawful Zappa humor.

You didn’t like “Today” off of Surrealistic Pillow? The one with Jerry Garcia on guitar (or IS he? No one seems to know) Not “Comin’ Back To Me,” one of the darkest ballads I know? No “D. C. B. A. -25”? No “How Do You Feel”?
