Here is what I have burned by Chicago-someone told me that 25 or 6 to 4 was

MJD is younger than I thought.

Chicago's lyric is "Should I try to do some more? 25 or 624."

The chemical number for LSD is 25. The number for an antidote drug that would help get someone down from a trip is 624.

Re: Your first concert

More specifically, LSD-25 was one of the more popular and most readily accessible forms of LSD. I think 624 was actually qualudes, which would be taken to mellow out a bad trip.

DISCLAIMER: This is knowledge gained not through practical experimentation (well, not on my part) but from thorough exegesis given to all the latest mysterious lyrics. It was the late '60s and early '70s. You had to be there.

'LUDES had a 714 stamped on them....never saw any thing else on a script 'lude.Chorpromazine(Thorazine) is front line for Trip OD's
Smith-Klein calls theirs T-64,75mg and25mg is T-74
so I see no 624 thing. But it all may just be a flashback....Those pranksters got me good.

Re: Your first concert

I've already made my position on lyrics clear on a couple of occasions-it's not far from Dylan's, actually.

Re: Your first concert

On Sunday, November 6th, 1977 at the University of Dayton Arena in Dayton, Ohio I attended my first concert featuring Earth, Wind & Fire with Deneice Williams (the songbird herself) as the opening act.
It was awesome!
Deneice Williams sang a few incredible high notes and I became an instant fan of hers. Then EW&F tore it up. The bass player played a solo in the air (SIDEWAYS!)The group all rose out of a pyramid and commenced to jammin'I could go on and on. I've seen EW&F 6 times since then.
