Yes, “Operating Manual.” Donovan could tweak the nose of the establishment in the most joyous- sounding manner. What artists in today’s pop pantheon are doing the same? It occurs to me that “Neutronica” was one of his last attempts to get through to an audience suffering from ennui. We in the States really had trouble getting our hands on “Neutronica.” My copy was a British import. I am happy to see that you are doing justice with to his body of work.

Thanks for continuing to offer Donovan’s catalog of album tracks, Jerry. I’ll bundle this one with a couple other lessons. You’re way ahead of me, but ‘m trying to keep up!
It was gratifying to see that Donovan is honouring Greta’s environmental work with an album (albeit re-issues) and concert in her home country. [Donovan.ie] Those of us who really appreciate the maestro will know that he was warning us about the planet half a century ago, and he “got his licks in” with songs such as “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi,” telling us that the “United Nations [isn’t] really united,” when it came to the climate (and other issues). “Open Road” stands out as one of Donovan’s most joyous celebrations of our collective spirit.

Not forgetting Operating Manual For Spaceship Earth which looks like a prophesy now that we look back at it.
