Very talented and underrated band.
what always surprised me being from Argentina is that Zal Yanovsky named his 1968 solo album " Alive and Well in Argentina"
That was Zal having a joke about his pariah status in the counterculture after his drug bust, which led to him leaving the band.
He was likening himself to Nazi war criminals who were hiding in Argentina after the war.
Zally was Jewish. The title track opens with a recording of Israel's national anthem coming out of one speaker, and "Deutschland Uber Alles" coming out of the other.
Then it goes into a madcap singalong with a piano that sounds like something in a Jay Ward cartoon.
Zally was out there. He had an outrageous sense of humor that took no prisoners.
He was casual about his talent and indifferent to fame. Try to imagine if Eric Clapton had the personality of Keith Moon.
