He's definitely an "acquired taste." I could never listen every day, but I'm happy to have him in my arsenal. I was listening today (and smiling) while on the bicycle ride.
My first exposure was in 1968. I'd seen his albums before - We're Only In It for the Money was an attention-getter! The album cover was a parody of the ubiquitous "Sargeant Pepper" cover. And it had some awesome tunes. Who Needs the Peace Corps? pokes some good-natured fun at the whole hippie movement of the era.
Today I was listening to "Overnite Sensation." I'm the Slime is the song that goes with this illustration:
Another favorite from that album is Montana. "Leaving for Mon-ta-na sooooonnnn... gonna be a dent-al floss ty-cooooonnnn..."
