Diary of a Schizophrenic

A madman's diary.

Listened to my Byrds 2-disc greatest hits just now. Pretty damn good. So good in fact I'm thinking of purchasing the entire Byrds catalogue. I alread have Turn!Turn!Turn!, Sweetheart of the Rodeo and Ballad of Easy Rider. This compilation has the original versions of their "He was a Friend of Mine" and "Goin' Back" covers and not the re-recorded 1990 reunion versions. Also a brilliant "Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man" written by my hero Gram Parsons and a brilliant cover of Dylan's "This Wheel's On Fire", which I suspect Siouxsie and the Banshees used as a basis for their cover, and not the original. Very worthwhile purchase and keeps my mind off the death sticks.
