Blue Eyed Soul Man

A departure from the synthesizers on earlier albums, there are more acoustic songs here with a lot of self-realization going on. The rigors of stardom have shown their ugly heads with admission of alcoholism and the massive amount of come-ons they were getting from both sex's. Pete mentioned he was really afraid Moon might overdose around this time. Three years ahead and Pete's fears became reality "I'm surrounded by dead people." Recalling the losses of Brian Jones, Janice Joplin, Jim Morrison, Moon and so many others. It's both a record and a lesson: Grow up too fast and you just might off yourself unknowingly. My parents always told me "At the end of the night, grab your instrument and money and leave saying "Goodbye! Nice seeing everyone, I've got to get up early!" Saved my life I suppose.
