bazooka Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Musical interlude: The people came and listened Some of them came and played Others gave flowers away, yes they did Down in Monterey, Down in Monterey. Young gods smiled upon the crowd Their music being born of love Children danced night and day Religion was being born Down in Monterey The Byrds and the Airplane did fly Oh, Ravi Shankar's music made me cry The Who exploded into fire and light Hugh Masekela's music was black as night The Grateful Dead blew everybody's mind Jimi Hendrix, baby, believe me, set the world on fire, yeah His Majesty, Prince Jones, smiled as he moved among the crowd Ten thousand electric guitars were groovin' real loud, yeah You want to find the truth in life? Don't pass music by And you know I would not lie, no, I would not lie, No, I would not lie Down in Monterey All right!!! Three days of understanding, of moving with one another Even the cops grooved with us Do you believe me, yeah? Down in Monterey, down in Monterey Down in Monterey, down in Monterey I think that maybe I'm dreaming Monterey, Monterey Down in Monterey Did you hear what I say?
