$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('TheDude', 'T')hat's all well and good, guys, but what does any of this have to do with energy?
Not much. Neither does
this one from the land down under.
Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred
Tan me hide when I'm dead
So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde

But actually, that chart of rock music and oil production is pretty clever. Probably something to it, sort of in line with Catton's thesis of The Age Of Exuberance. '67 & '68 were golden years for music. By '69 & '70 it was Charlie Manson and hopeless souls drifting into Haight Ashbury, burned out hippies getting lost in Oaxaca and eating mushrooms, rock stars dropping like flies, and music that was deliberately bad and artless. That Russian Roulette stuff with Christopher Walken in
The Deer Hunter expressed it pretty well.
