The Turtles


Tonight…as I write this, in fact…Flo and Eddie are doing their Turtles songs 4 blocks from my house at an outdoor concert. I couldn’t attend so I’m enjoying the metaphysics of media by catching them over late summer air currents while watching and listening to them on DVD. The result is a mix of understandable late-career reality mixed with their early 70’s performance in Frank Zappa’s “200 Motels”. I’m getting a double-whammy convincer that these guys have strong vocal and performance chops to be admired whether they are doing pop material or “avant-garde” outside stuff.
