I believe he's proven that John Kay was not a Lambda Chi. However, as several posts have pointed out, that does not preclude the possibility that Kay had friends who were Lambda Chis and who "spilled the beans" during some late-night pot party. (It was the late 60s and early 70s, after all.) The lyrics don't just capture events, but the way you actually feel at that moment, so I agree with those who say it would have to be one of the most amazing coinidences in history.

I remember being asked by many if I was the John Kay that wrote the lyric to the song. It was done a little before my time and had no part in it. I don't think that there is any conncetion with the John Kay of Stepnewolf and our brotherhood. The song does bring back many great memories of being an active member of LAC that I will always cherish.

I remember that it was started about 1971 or 1972 in our chapter. I believe that the Samford chapter gave us the tradition while we had a combined chapter party in Birmingham, AL. It was then played at rush parties, all regular parties, and I remember people on campus asking us what is the deal with LXA and "Magic Carpet Ride". I agree, everytime I hear that song I turn the music up LOUD, and remember some of the best days of my life as an active brother of Lambda Chi at Montevallo. It always brings back great memories and I could care less if the so called "urban legend" has been proven wrong. The song will always be special to all LXAs.
