Third Bardo – "Five Years Ahead of My Time" (1967)

I'm through caring about their right or wrong

I've unlocked the door to life's mystery

Look into my mind

Look ahead, don't look behind

I’m five years ahead of my time!

“Hold on just a cotton-pickin’ minute,” I hear you saying to yourself.  “Isn’t today’s featured record the exact same one that was featured in the previous 2 or 3 lines?” 

Indeed it is – and that is no mistake.  (If you somehow missed that post, just scroll down a ways and you can read it.)

You see, I’m still agog from my recent encounter with “Five Years Ahead of My Time,” the absolutely fabulous psychedelic single recorded by the Third Bardo in 1967.  

In fact, I’m so discombobulated that I didn’t begin this post by quoting two or three lines from this record’s lyrics as is my wont.  Instead, I quoted two plus three lines!

I may never get over this record.  For your sake, I hope I do – otherwise you may be in for dozens of posts about “Five Years Ahead of My Time.”

Which would probably drive away the few remaining 2 or 3 lines readers who haven’t already been driven away by my narcissism, misogyny, and other alleged sins.
