"So You Want To Be A Rock 'n' Roll Star" #29 3/4/1967

A rather cynical view of the music business from the Byrds. Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman were poking fun at how manufactured rock groups like the Monkees had achieved overnight success. The screaming crowd was from a 1965 show the Byrds did in England. The trumpet solo is by South African musician Hugh Masakela, who later had an instrumental hit with "Grazing In The Grass."
