merican psychedelic garage-rock icon Sky "Sunlight" Saxon passed away last week in Austin Texas at the age of 71, or maybe 68. Age is unimportant, man. And here at Mister Kitty we salute this rock legend with a couple of tunes from him and his band The Seeds, culled from a few of their mass-media appearances.
In the late 1960s the Seeds appeared on the short-lived Desi Arnaz-produced sitcom "The Mothers In Law", which starred Eve Arden and Kay Ballard along with TV legend Richard Deacon. As "the Warts", Sky Saxon and the Seeds come into the Hubbard's living room, work their way through some stilted dialog, and lipsynch to Pushin' Too Hard, their only top-40 hit. Meanwhile in the American International hippieploitation film "Psych-Out", a San Francisco psychedelic hippy "be-in" attended by such notable hippies as Jack Nicholson and Susan Strasberg is given musical life by the Seeds and their tune 2 Fingers Pointing. Later in the movie the Strawberry Alarm Clock play and Bruce Dern freaks out on STP and is hit by a truck, an eeriely prophetic metaphor for "hippie" in general.
Sky Saxon would reconfigure, disband, and reform the Seeds on several occasions. In 1970 he fell in with the Yahowha vegetarian-restaurant Aquarian-age religious sect, which would release several records of Saxon-involved improvisational psychedelic music. The Yahowha group fell apart when its leader Father Yod died in a hang-gliding accident in 1975. Sky continued to collaborate musically with Yahowha members and other rock acts including Redd Kross. A reunited Seeds toured the States and Europe in the mid '00's. Will we ever see the likes of Sky Saxon and the Seeds again? Only the universal oneness knows. Remember the power of the I AM -- and to always use it positively.
