Mr. Natural is a member of neither political party, nor has he heard of them. However, his chronic presence on the sidelines of national politics forces both parties to hew, or "truck," toward the center, and eschew fractious discourse in favor of a simple, clear message with wide appeal. Though he has come to be associated with the use of marijuana and other semi-illegal substances, his actual message was advocacy of the state of mind to which he lent his name, the apocryphal "natural high," which one can attain without smoking marijuana at all, provided enough other people in the room are.

- Mr. Natural is the Bee Gees' tenth album, released in May 1974. It was the first Bee Gees release produced by Arif Mardin, who was partially responsible for the group's mega success with Main Course. Mr. Natural generated no hits, but represented an important step in The Bee Gees' evolution into something more than simple pop balladeers. The album shows a strong Philadelphia soul influence in tracks like "Throw a Penny". Other highlights include "Mr. Natural", a rock-and-roll infectious tune and "Charade". Those with keen ears can hear what will become Barry Gibb's famous falsetto vocal in the backing vocals of "Dogs".
