  2. I hear you, MND. I usually switch to my CDs before the CBC news (or the wretched Katie Malloch: more like poison than tonic). But I wasn’t quite fast enough today.

As Wikipedia notes (I know, I know), “The song is significant in rock history because, together with Blue Cheer and Steppenwolf, it marks the point when psychedelic music produced heavy metal.
