My older brother bought this album (In-a-gadda-da-vida) when it first came out (1968?) and spent two years playing the title track over and over again. Then, one day, I started playing his records myself and flipped the damn disc over (yeah kids... we had TWO sides to a disc back then!) to play the other side... Great tunes! Especially this baby, MIRAGE. I used to listen to this over and over again in my early adolescence. It's about the PERFECT GIRL. You know, the one you DON'T HAVE... at least not yet. She exists only in YOUR MIND; she's a MIRAGE. But don't you want others to see her too? In YOUR place? I think that's when I started to take drawing seriously...
