Surf City

Here's Crack The Sky again, from their first album again, and this is the track that comes after "Hold On".

If you're still holding on, you might have begun to wonder what you're holding onto, and/or why. And if you haven't, maybe you should have.

In any case, John Palumbo and his mates are here to remind you.

In addition to the sharp lyrics, I love this groove. It would be considered "advanced" today; they were doing it in 1975.
