BOPPIN's Monthly Day Off: THE 13th FLOOR ELEVATORS
Once a month, Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do) takes a break from its ill-advised schedule of daily posting, and sends out a little something just for my paid patrons. This month's private post for patrons is another chapter from my book-in-progress The Greatest Record Ever Made! (Volume 1). Specifically, it's the chapter celebrating "You're Gonna Miss Me" by The 13th Floor Elevators.
An infinite number of songs can each be THE greatest record ever made, as long as they take turns. You can read about my GREM! book project here, and you can read the book's opening sequence (including chapters about The Ramones, Badfinger, Chuck Berry, Dusty Springfield, and The Sex Pistols) here. You can also become a paid supporter of this blog for just $2 a month, and receive the monthly private post for your own enjoyment. This month's private 13th Floor Elevator piece posts on August 1st, so sign up already.
Daily public posting will resume tomorrow. August awaits.
