Remember my first pair when I was 14! Mate of mine had moon boots - just like Ozzy Osbourne's on Sabotage album. Added about 7 inches to his height, but his girlfriend made him get rid of em. Song conjures up days sat round in summer, passing a doobie, nothing on our minds besides having a great time. Heady days.

Nov 12, 2009 - Interesting that you would know the year Tom, since you inferring that gay men and confused types would wear them. Alasl they were in vogue if you lived in NY in 71. Perhaps where you were at the time it caught on a little late. by 73 -74 they were passe'

Nov 13, 2009 - That Winwood; he's a singer. What's he doing wringing the last ounce of soul out of that piano? I can't even comprehend how good he is.
