Friday Afternoon Escape From Bullshit Street Tune
Writer Tom Johnston described the motivation for the song as a call for world peace:
"The chord structure of it made me think of something positive, so the lyrics that came out of that were based on this utopian idea that if the leaders of the world got together on some grassy hill somewhere and either smoked enough dope or just sat down and just listened to the music and forgot about all this other bullshit, the world would be a much better place. It was very utopian and very unrealistic (laughs). It seemed like a good idea at the time."[

Thanks for that…incredible band and music, brought back memories
Didn’t realize their band was so large, similar to Chicago and Earth, Wind and Fire. Are they out of California?
