The most famous such rock record jacket art is from the Jefferson Airplane's Crown of Creation, whose photo credits claim that this is a picture of the Hiroshima bomb (though it seems actually to be from a September 14, 1957 Nevada test). The title song was inspired by a passage in a well-known postholocaust science fiction novel, The Chrysalids by John Wyndham, in which the new, mutant generation is praised as superior to normal humans.

A nuclear cloud featured less prominently a year earlier on Grateful Dead.

"Your work is to survive. Neither his kind, nor his kind of thinking will survive long. They are the crown of creation, they are ambition fulfilled - they have nowhere more to go. But life is change, that is how it differs from rocks, change is its very nature."

You are the crown of creation,
and you've got no place to go.
Soon you'll obtain the stability you strive for.
In the only place that it's granted,
In a place among the fossils of our time!

In loyalty to their kind,
They cannot tolerate our minds!
In loyalty to our kind,
We cannot tolerate their obstruction!


I will bring you gold apples
And grapes made of rubies
That shine in the eyes of
A prince of the breeze

Bright cascading crystals
They dance in the sand dunes
On the beach of no footprints
To harpsichord tunes

A throne of white ivory
A gown of white lace
Lies still in the magic
Of a timeless place

A friend of mine asked me
Where has he been
Where is he now?
I said he's been set free
Shares a little joke with the world somehow

Sounded like he'd make a halo
When I heard his laughter floating
It's all for fun you know
He said he just let go
Shares a little joke with the world

The world around you never catches up to you.

I guess since you live by the ocean in that northern State, you would be really involved in all those environmental issues, like saving beached Quails.

Since V.P. Cheney has given more focus to the protected Quail issue, I imagine there has been a lot more activity amongst groups seeking to protect sea animals. Is there a Save the Quails group in your area?
