Sun Ra is one seriously blazed up dude. Have you heard his music? Sun Ra’s main interesting point throughout his career is that, the whole time, he thought he was abducted by aliens. Bizarre, believe you me. What’s stranger, is the fact that his most famous album, produced in the 70s under the name Space Is The Place, is a record that revolves around his obtuse, stoned out of his mind thoughts, and has Sun Ra trying to relate to listeners through hypnotic jazz revolving around spacey effects. It’s horrible, but it’s beautiful, truly wonderful and a highlight in his career. This was in the 1972, when jazz wasn’t supposed to be existing other than the already fading Jam jazz of Miles Davis.
