Cover art for Crystal Blue Persuasion lyrics by Tommy James And The Shondells

Very mellow. It's about the Flower Power movement of the '60's. Love,peace and chicken grease. :)

Nope. It's about God. James and his band we becoming Christians and he got the idea from the Book of Revelations. He was reflecting on what John saw as the "New Jerusalem".
