John Kay isn’t your typical rock star and that set him and Steppenwolf apart from the pack. That’s probably why the band never got the recognition they deserve. They weren’t part of the (((Laurel Canyon))) scene.
Lol, my ol’ man hated that “goddamned hippy music”.
I think probably because Kay came form an ACTUAL Communist shithole and could call out liberal feel good bullshit on a whim and with huge credibility is why he never got to inner circle.

EVERYONE'S old man at the time did. It could turn the most quiet dad into Red Forman in an instant lol.
OTOH Mothers were just clueless. I remember my mother walking into my room one day and asking me which one of the guys in the poster was Led Zeppelin. I said HIM Ma pointing to Plant That's Led right there. He's good friends with Jethro of Jethro Tull. Geez
Lol, yep. My mom would shake her head and say, “Oh you boys” and walk off. Totally oblivious to the fact we were doin’ shit we definitely ought not be doin’.
