@elgonwilliams76242 жыл бұрын
The story on the ELP connection goes something like this. ELP had a different tentative title for that album, which was something like Whip some Skull on Ya - British slang for oral sex. The album cover was designed around using that title. But the record label rejected that title because they thought it was too sexually explicit. They opted for using Brain Salad Surgery because the term was used in this top-charting Dr. John Song (so he got away with it) and it was also slang used to mean the same thing.

Just read above that this song came out 8 months before ELP's album was released. Cool story behind how they settled on Brain Salad Surgery

Dr. John is a “forever” institution” in New Orleans. So talented, and even more humble. You should be so lucky to experience his Live performance…✌️RIP, John Rebennack, for all your excellent music!

This brings back a lot of memories and epic stories of Tipitina's, Dr. John played there quite regularly. Sneaking in as a underage teen and seeing some great acts in that historic venue. Also Tuesdays were WTUL (collage radio station) quarter water night, twenty-five cents for a draft beer!
