I liked Su Ra's Arkestra and music, but loved his presence onstage. What a trip!

Didn't know anything about jazz when I encountered my first Sun Ra album. (Musta been 1969-70.) Here it was, all in one package: music, outrage, effrontery, sci-fi buffoonery. Nothing not to like.

Great story. And I agree with Sun Ra--a saner planet would be nice.

Yes, tho in addition to being the worst planet I've ever been on, this is also the best.
