Show Notes
"What, Me Worry?" This week on the Retrospect 60s Garage Punk Show, we’re trippin’ through the archives with a double-header of high-octane weirdness. First, we’re tracing the chemical trails of The Pretty Things’ legendary anthem "LSD." We’ve unearthed a stack of the rarest, fuzziest, and most obscure covers of this track ever recorded. But wait—don’t lose your mind just yet! We’re also diving into the satirical world of MAD Magazine. We’ve tracked down a handful of 60s cuts loosely inspired by the "Usual Gang of Idiots." It’s a mix of garage grit and counter-culture comedy that you won't hear anywhere else.
