Annotation
Poet, born 13 December 1939 in Chicago, Illinois, USA, and currently based in Los Angeles, California, USA, released this LP (Blue Yonder Sounds # BYS (0114) featuring the track "Like Peaches" , described on the back sleeve as "a journal note recollection of the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago - the one that featured the Yippie invasion and designed the velvet masque of mock insurrection". Also note this LP contained other Vietnam War-related references, included the track "Vietnam / Peace Casualties" - which had the description: "this holds a cracked mirror up to an image of how I perceive the thing that places this whole traumatic conflict in American history".
