This song by Grind isn't so much about Chi Coltrane as about the times.
Here's the lyrics, which
I think are excellent. Used with permission. You can hear a soundclip of it by going to this page and
clicking on song #14. You'll need Realplayer, available from that page.

Chi Coltrane
Ooh, let's drive by another, try to find another Chi Coltrane
Ooh, let's
drive by another, try to find someone who knows me
Got a little plan, asking my old man about
it
An 8-track in his hand, probably cost a grand
So ride around and make a wish
I hope they
understand
If you give me love like this
I'll try to be your man, packing up the van
Ooh,
let's drive by another, try to find another Chi Coltrane
Ooh, let's drive by another, try to find
someone who knows me
Caught a little break, thought they had a sealed copy
Was a Smith record
by mistake, and that was just a tape
So write it down and make a list
Let's follow that sedan
Bumper sticker from Record Licks
We'll find it if we can
Without trashing up the plan
I
haven't seen that song in ages, I start to rifle through the pages
Disc Connection, Record Collections,
Dr. Freud's and Main Street Music
Filled my head with songs I bled and molded into something
Ooh,
let's drive by another, try to find another Chi Coltrane
Ooh, let's drive by another, try to find
someone who knows me
Got a little plan, asking my old man about it
Phone call in his hand,
trying to find the van
So ride around and make a wish
I hope they understand
If you bring
me love like this
I'll try to be your man
Back where we began
(c)1991 Julian Shore & Paul
Grimstad
