The Great Airplane Strike

raiders_pic.jpg I've been a big fan of the outstanding Funky 16 Corners weblog for several years now, so when Funky's proprietor, Larry, created a new 'blog called Iron Leg, dedicated to '60s rock and pop culture, I followed that too with great interest.

Today's entry comes to you courtesy of Paul Revere and the Raiders. Often derided as popstar buffoons attired in silly Revolutionary War outfits, the Raiders actually kicked ass on several levels, and this tune, The Great Airplane Strike, proves it by dropping a super-heavy slab of fuzzed-out guitar stomp right on our pointy, little heads.

There was a reason why the Sex Pistols covered these guys.
