The Turtles parody themselves, 1968, nobody notices

This is the funny origins to I song I love, the Turtles, Eleanor. 
Howard's wife, a customer at the time at our Crossroads store, told me that Eleanor was Happy Together reversed.

Mike, love this post. I loved The Turtles a lot when I was in my teens. Many solid hits on my CD.

Written in Chicago the week of April 4, 1968.
When the first of their shows was cancelled due to civil unrest following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
The Aragon Ballroom was briefly named the Cheetah at the time.

Many people don't realize that there is comment moderation and post twice.

I knew there was moderation.
But the blog made me re-confirm my name after not showing it initially, and sent the blank comment box again after I did.
