“Well, boys, you're going to be the NEW SOUND OF '67!”
~ Jack Baverstock, President of Phillips Records in UK
“Go directly to WAR! Do not pass GO! Do not collect 200 dollars”
~ Karma Monopoly
“We HAD to stop these guys!!!”
~ US Embassy, London's CIA classified excuse for drafting The Misunderstood
Ever think Karma (Destiny) fucked you up? Really fucked you up good? - Well, let me tell you a woe-filled tale about a doomed rock group called, weirdly, The Misunderstood. It all started with Karma who was bored and fed-up with creating apocalypses, World Wars, and stuff, so he decided to really screw-up something good.
In preparation for his grand plan, cruel Karma first created the freakin' British Invasion. He then created American Garages. And a bit before that he had already whipped up the Vietnam war. And before that RickSteveGlennMoeTony were born, and a tad before that, Karma created BBC DJ John Peel. Karma then brought together RickSteveGlennMoeTony as a rock-band and named them "The Misunderstood", and DJ John Peel became their Manager. By 1966 the stage was all set for "Karma's BIG FUCK-UP".
Being a 'small band of rebels' from the evil Inland Empire, and unaware of Karma's diabolical scheme, the band pretended to be British so goddamn hard that, POOF!!! - they actually BECAME British. At John Peel's request they up and moved over to "fab" London, where they became Psychedelic Music icons, like, just now, 40 years later.
In 1966 'Swinging London' the band signed a three-word contract ("Fame and Fortune") with Phillips Records who had decided they would be the the "New sound of '67". RIGHT!? Wrong! Just when everything is Rockstar 'peaches and cream', SOB Karma implements his heartless plan. While the band was ragging to the UK media against the "Nam" war, Karma shocked everyone by sending them a Vietnam War Draft.
The singer escaped to 12 years exile as a fugitive in India. The other band members were deemed "unfit for military service" due to their Pre-traumatic Stress Syndrome caused by separation from their front man. Karma had a big laugh over that, and started thinking who else he could screw up. "Thanks, but no thanks!"

[edit] Greatest lost band of the 60s!? Who Says?
“The Misunderstood were a band of immense talent. Their debut single, "I Can Take You to the Sun," is one of the most powerful and best psychedelic singles ever released!”
~ Record Collector Magazine (after speaking with BBC DJ John Peel), July 1999
“Rubbish!”
~ The Move's Roy Wood on, ah, rubbish, July 1999
“Hey, think for yourself - You decide!”
~ The Misunderstood on being the Greatest Lost Band of the 60s
Here it is on YouTube: I Can Take You To the Sun.
The Misunderstood arguably are the “Greatest lost band of the 60s, who almost climbed Mount Everest (made it to base camp), to ever get fucked-up in London by Karma.” Years later, Karma started feeling bad about screwing up the Misunderstood, a great band that he himself had created for his own fun and games, and then totally messed-up. So in September 2004 Karma inspired Rolling Stone Magazine call them, "The American Yardbirds". And later in July 2006 Rolling Stone Magazine compared The Misunderstood's Glenn Ross Campbell, to "Jeff Beck & Jimmy Page rolled into one" (if you can picture that!?).
[edit] Rather-LATE-Recognition
Whoa! Impressive: PEELENIUM: Greatest Songs of the 20th Century: 1966 - I Can Take You To The Sun by The Misunderstood[1]."I Can Take You To the Sun/Who Do You Love" was #6 in "100 Greatest Psychedelic Records", a 2004 book published by UK's Record Collector Magazine[2]. If anyone would have told the band in 1966, "you just have to wait 40 years for recognition!" The band would have sung, "There is no sense, in this dimension, if I could leave, there's no question, of what I'd find, ...A BRICK WALL!"
[edit] Musical Output
Before they were demolished by Karma the band popped all the fuses and recorded a whopping 7 classic Hippie or Psychedelic Music songs in UK to the horror and outrage of the US Embassy in London, because the band dared to suggest - during interviews with the British media - that "war sucks Dead Dicks!" Although the band recorded a total of 7 songs in London, only seven of these songs are considered Classics! These are known as “The Seven Dwarfs” (because these songs eternally "dwarf" ALL Psychedelic Music competition, past-present-future):
- I'm Not Talkin, (Don't ask me no questions, I won't tell you no lies!}'
- Children of the Sun - Burned Alive BY Their Father
- Who Do You Luv? - As IF it's my concern!?
- I, Unseen (The Misunderstood were way before Apple's iMac - with iUnseen).
- My Mind - is thinking, "who am I, anyway, and where's the goddamn loo?"
- Find the Hidden Door (Where's the way out?)
- I Can't Take U 2 the Sun - Sorry!
[edit] Songs Copyright
The copyright for all 7 Misunderstood classics was traded by Michael Jackson to OJ just to hear the TRUTH; O.J. Simpson traded the copyright for all Misunderstood songs to Charlie Manson just to hear the TRUTH; Manson traded the copyright for all Misunderstood songs to Santa just to hear the TRUTH; Santa traded the copyright for all Misunderstood songs to Jack Bauer just to tell the TRUTH; Current copyright holder is mothafuckin' Jack Bauer. Needless to say, NOBODY covers a Misunderstood song. The Kennedys once tried to play a Misunderstood song. Now they are the "Dead Kennedys."
[edit] The Misunderstood memorial in ROCK Heaven
After the band’s being crushed into oblivion, God decided to establish The Misunderstood memorial in Rock Heaven. And God said let there be Rock, and the Misunderstood music was played, and God looked pleased and said, “Bitchen!” To this day there is a Misunderstood memorial in heaven and only the sinless can witness its glory. St John (Peel) still plays I Can Take You To the Sun on his turntable over at cloud #52966-DJ/BBC. So all those who don’t dig Misunderstood music had better go to Hell, where White Christmas as sung by Pat Boone (with Dick Dale on session guitar) is played ad infinitum.
[edit] Trivia

- We don't know who invented LIGHT, but The Misunderstood invented the actual live-music light show (plugging a motorcycle tail-light into the extension output of each amp, and it plays with the music. Quite something to see in a dark room, as witnessed by mobs in Hollywood and London in 1966)[3].
