The all-new album by former Residents composer Bobuck. Based on the H. Fox story, ”O-bay Scooplaws and the Summer of Love.”Scooplaws was one of the thousands of bands who pilgrimaged to San Francisco in 1967 with hopes of making it big.O-bay Scooplaws was one of the thousands of bands whose dreams were smashed like a Peter Townsend guitar.”We planned to leave for California at midnight hoping for lighter traffic and avoidance of the excruciating heat the Southern Route is so famous it was nearing 2:30 and the truck still did not have the drum set loaded. There was a nervousness in the parents had seen us off hours ago, telling us to be careful, the usual things they say when they finally accept that they no longer have any say in what their children are going to do. I started out in the listened to the all-night radio stations as we crossed the turn to be in the back came somewhere in didn”t go so well for me as I found the isolation and the flapping tarp challenging my mental state.I tried to sleep as best I could. When we arrived in San Francisco we had no real plans other to be a part of what was happening and try to get only place we knew about in San Francisco was the Jefferson Airplane house on Fulton Street across from Golden Gate band members all lived in this huge was we went we could say more, the man put a finger to his lips to quieten us and then motioned us into the house. We only stayed one manager found us a flat the next day.I bought a tape recorder and started learning how to use it by setting lyrics of some of my favorite songs from 1967 to new music.I saw it as a way of hearing these lyrics fresh again, of understanding deeper meanings in what was being it is fifty years later, thought it was time to release my old recordings as a way of paying tribute to those golden times.”
