Sky Saxon R.I.P.

While the rest of the world is mourning the deaths of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson I would like to remind that Sky Saxon, legendary lead singer and founding member of the 60s band The Seeds passed away yesterday.

You'll find his biography here.

Here's Sky in a recent concert in Berlin from January 2009:



And The Seeds with Pushin'Too Hard:



You're pushin' too hard, uh-pushin' on me
You're pushin' too hard, uh-what you want me to be
You're pushin' too hard about the things you say
You're pushin' too hard every night and day
You're pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard on me (too hard)

Well all I want is to just be free
Live my life the way I wanna be
All I want is to just have fun
Live my life like it's just begun
But you're pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard on me (too hard)

Well, better listen girl to what I'm tellin' you
You better listen girl, or we are through
You better stop all your foolin' around
Stop your runnin' all over town
'Cause you're pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard on me (too hard)

Well I know there's a lotta fish in the sea
I know some would-uh stay by me
So if you don't think I'm gonna try
You better ask yourself the reason why
'Cause you're pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard on me (too hard)

Pushin' too hard, pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard, pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard, pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard on me (too hard)

Wow, that sucks, I didn't even hear about that in the clamor over Fawcett and Jackson. I love those first 2 Seeds albums, especially the unforgettable "Can't Seem To Make You Mine," which will now doubtless be stuck in my head for the remainder of the day. "Mr. Farmer" and "Up In Her Room" are two of the better lesser-known Seeds tracks, with bizarre and oblique sexual innuendos threading through the band's crunchy sound.
