Coming over Laurel Canyon, that was one of my favorites.
That and Whole Lotta Love.
Those were my two favorite songs to listen to on the way to the comedy store.
I had like a soundtrack that I listened to to get myself psyched up for shows.
Ron White was telling us a story the other night in the Mothership Green Room, the Comedy Club Green Room.
And he was saying that when he was, I think he said he was 13 years old, he went to see the monkeys.
And Jimi Hendrix opened for the monkeys.
He said it was the worst booking of all time.
So this is when Jimi Hendrix was emerging.
He really hadn't become Jimi Hendrix yet.
And so he's the opening act for the Monkees.
And so you have a bunch of kids that are there to see this really cute band that was pieced together by corporate executives, essentially.
The Monkees, fun band, but they had a TV show, and it was a very clean, sweet TV show.
