    Alan was from a different time. A different place. I know he stayed there while on this surle earth and now he's there. Being a master of his craft, was only secondary to what he was about. Here he gives us a glimpse into his MIND and for me, he will always be here or there.

    Alan was going places musically ...
    It was definitely I him ... like a Cobain and Thom Yorke ... Being a part of Canned was a blessing and a curse. Heat may have stifled his opportunities to record different innovations that may have been floated around in him. A prodigy for sure. His voice ... amazing. His feel ... deep and intriguing.

      I think you’re right. His songs Time Was, My Time Ain’t Long and Get Off My Back are about the band-Bob Hite in particular. From what I’ve read there was a lot of issues with the musical direction of the band and the constant touring and a lot of his depression was in regards to the band. I don’t think he wanted the band to break up but he didn’t seem to have someone to give him support in that area. Just sad because he was an incredible talent but from all accounts a really nice person.

      I'm not saying that was definitely not true but, in these modern times, when so many "theories" are based on nothing but feelings, I would not be inclined to embrace that sort of speculation. We could, just as easily say that they were opposite, yet complementary natures. Canned Heat certainly produced some ground breaking, unique and amazing music, so I think the band members were supportive of each other.
