Rockabilly Rocking Chair - DOC DEUTERIUM AND HIS HILLBILLY AGITATERS

An example of the so-called Appalachian ayahuasca scene in the late 1940s, early 1950s, Doc later claimed his minor hit to be one of the first anti-war protest songs, being about the then current atomic tests, without the slightest evidence in the lyrics whatsoever, a lie given even less credence by a close friend’s admission that Doc - real name Abner Gation - had written it after a particularly bad ayahuasca trip when, sitting on his front porch he looked out on a scene of rural poverty he suddenly realized could be ripe to the blandishments of neo-fascist agitation. The truth, I guess, will never be known.
