"Memories Of Monterey" lyrics

"It was a beautiful, beautiful scene, man. I mean, it was the peak of the 60s and of all of that. An agape moment. Ravi was there and Jimi, Janis, and Otis was there, dear, dear Otis. And Booker T and the MGs in their suits. And Brian! Brian resplendent like a gorgeous emperor, Nico trailing in his wake like a puff of smoke. And all these fantastical new bands: The Aeroplane, The Dead, The Springfield and The Who smashing everything up! And Derek Taylor, like a grand vizier or the Beatle attache sent from on high. A beautiful scene, man. And Hopper was there, gorgeous in his beads and beard, just before he made Easy Rider. Such intensity in his eyes! How magic he was. How magic it all was. How magic we all were! It was a beautiful scene, man, a moment never to be forgotten and never to be repeated."
