		<description>This album was a launch for some of the most delicate times of my adolescent life. It was filled with a wholsome driven energy of awareness and subtle understandings of life.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I was given this information through a favorite uncle of mine. A psychiatric head case if ever there was one, but he was the kindest, funniest, animated of human beings&lt;br/&gt;one could ever be blessed to know.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;With the very first song on the album, YOU, it brought me to an understanding of the world of adults around me, who didn&#039;t necessarilly quite have it all together.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;There was drug use, adultery, and whole host of other things that were raised in Bill&#039;s messages, like black flags, urging, warning me of some of the pitfalls and snares of life.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I enjoyed that album emensely and have searched for a copy, high and low. Hoping that the record companies and executives might see the sense in having it re-released on CD so that an entire generation of young ones could witness for themselves, the greatness of much of the music that came out of the 70&#039;s.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I loved that album that my uncle introduced me to. The song YOU came to be his national anthem. Identifying the snares and pitfalls of drug addiction and the oftentime superficiality of psychiatrist and modern medicine. It came to mean even more to me as life would show me face to face, just how fragile and difficult it can be. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In the Autumn of 77, my favorite &lt;br/&gt;uncle for the last time effectively succeeded in ending his own life. A life filled with the pains of no longer being able to be employed, a string of destructive relationships, as well as the seperation and divorce of his wife and the dismantling of the family with his children.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I was so devestated at the time, that at the age of 18, within the spanse of 30 days after his death, I would thereafter suffer my first nervous breakdown and would never be the same again.</description>
