The Whitefronts

Many times ago, before all the Haight-Ashbury "couch-ins," before the intimate nights shared with opinionated butt-beggars in precious Golden gate Park, before the numberless flophouse feasts, even before the renowned "miracle on Market Street; we lived the 'other' life. We were still there, & again, we heard the sELF coursing across the eighty-eight & a third waves of air 'tween Ypsi & Dexter: & UNDERSTOOD! We kNEW the bliss of smoking dope on the Diag any day but HASHBASH, b'gosh, of whence 'they' retain highness. NO, but we were still, & again...there...& YOU, damnitall, YOU found oursELF lying deep in a bathtub full of acid in the basement of East Quad with one eye & the backside of our head off. Sweet b'Jesus, if Lance Morrow remain in the dark. wEE! are again there, & ...still: except for, in SPIRIT, thanks to the GRACE-bestowing power of engraved flash-back. THUS: HAIL! We say to THEE, HALE, for we havst RISEST! Offer sacrifices to the gods in joyous praise, for the name liveth, & we shal spew it forth fropm our lips until these tonsils burst, & a red mist lightly dawns upon our friends & listeners. & LO! we have heard thaT name while beinG in a state of higHness, & we have intuited thaT it was the voice of March Wells, & he spaketh to us thus: "BE it known to thee, o lesser gods of Bogden, that there WILL cum a day, a day when the largest city Shall fall, a day when the superpower's greatest dreams & teachers Shall explode in a giant ball of flaming death & tin. Take HEED! Take fuckin' HEED, I say to thee, or thy stony dicks Shall separate, & fall, again, to the earth. FOr, on this DAY, he who is called: 'WE OF BASEMENT HAYDEN,' glory on the highest, SHALL BE, STILL, RISEN in the WEST, & vinyl shall spew forth from the center of their drug infested soul, & it shall be known to the masses as: ROAST BELIEF, & it Shall be Known & praised by the Residents & from this day hence he who is CALLED: 'WE OF BASEMENT HAYDEN' shall gather together, en bande, & this shall be called: The WHITEFRONTS; glory on the HighesT, & the name shall emanate from San Francisco. & still again, this band shall rightfully assume the seat & grace of the revered Ashbury guruship, & THAT very lineage Shall indeed be passed along in private ceremony, by THAT revered bande who is called GRATEFUL DEAD; glory on the very highest. & this successor Shall indEEd usher inh the very NEWEST of the AGES. TAKE HEED!, 0 those of limp ganglia, for you must see to it that THIS vinyl thus spaken may enlighten those of thicker soul,To the EAST! & to the SOUTH!. Take FUCKIN' HEED!, I say, or not a singular future generation Shall ever shit upon thIS earth. & in accord to the prophecy thus found deep in the scriptures, YOU SHALL return the form of His body: ROAST BELIEF, to THAT very LAND from which HE sprouteth. SOBEIT" All Hail The Whitefronts, as the highest, & spinneth their vinyl upon YOUR tables, in accord with THAT prophecy thus spaketh. Jimmy be inside yOUR soul. Jesus H. Christ
