close but NO cigar. 1968/9 depending. yes, it was from the easy rider soundtrack. you really do get points for that...AND since it was done in a folk genre..the buffalo springfield guess is both and excellent and logical guess. but...alas...they were a 1 hit wonder. i wore this album out as a teen...and i have a really SAD F'n story too...but first. the artist? i commend you and not googling it. you are a man! it was " the fraternity of man" only stinking thing they ever did!! ok want to hear a sad story...?? u are whether you want to or not....and I kick my own ass for this every day. i was so enamored with this movie and that i wanted to make a jacket like peter fonda's. in a locker( my father's) in our basement were 2 very good candidates. one was a Sears A2 knock off....pretty decent actually but a bit baggy. the other ( slit my F'n wrists ) was my dad's ww2 honest to God A2....WITH 11 & 1/2 swastikas on the left shoulder ( air and ground kills)...the crow riding the cobra shooting a machine gun ( the 364th SQ symbol) on the right....oh the back.....a 51 with the yellow and red checkered nose....yellow rudder......flying in the clouds ( cant remember if the lettering said the 364th SQ or the 357th FG... but it was beautiful. I DID ask my dad IF i could have one of the 2....and told him up front what i wanted to do with it...showing him the album cover. he told me to take his old flight jacket...i could cry right now...i did and i dyed it black and stitched an american flag on the back ( and practically got thown out of school for wearing it). my dad called the principal and read him the riot act...OMG what i wouldnt give to have that jacket right now. sometimes you dont know you have a precious thing....and you squander it...and regret it the rest of your life.... and now for something completely different (monty python)...what is the airspeed of a coconut laden swallow....ok an english swallow????
