I wish Amazon would make "Psychedelic '60's" "station". I miss Spirit, Quick Silver, Jefferson Airplane, etc. What I call the "hippie bands". I've heard Boston & Rush too many times.

For some reason the(edit brain fart)West coast of France is awash with really interesting Jazz. Based on early rock & swing. Also they play a lot of good rock classics.

Just click on any green dot in the area. Switzerland has some good stations also for early rock.

The song could have a few meanings (lsd, man).
It sounds to me like the alien narrator giving us a warning about what could happen to our planet.

Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn and
Tied her with fences and dragged her down
