McLean told us the music died in 1959. If it did, it sure recovered quickly. I think it may have died again in 1977, and we still haven't seen its return.
“(there is no sign for “cents” on the keyboard. Has anyone else noticed that?
Sure there is!

Argh. It’s easier just to write out the word “cents” LOLOLOLOL!
Love the Lynyrd Skynyrd band. Saw them and Charlie Daniels when Hannity was having the Freedom concerts. It was fun!
Saw those guys from right on the wall at Freedom Hall in Louisville in about ‘76. Unbelievable.
I had seen them at Louisville Gardens downtown a year or two previous, with Blue Oyster Cult warming up. LS were falling down drunk, drinking Black Jack from the bottle drunk, fighting with each other on stage. It was comical.
The later show more than made up for it.
Me too. Bought my first Beatles 45rpm record in Feb 1964 for 69¢. (you have to write in Word and insert a symbol to get a cents sign now).
My first single was The Beatles (Love Me Do and Please Please me)and the 2nd was “Don’t let the Sun catch Your Crying”
My first Rock Album was THE DOORS. Then Sergeant Pepper.
Then the dam broke! LOL!
Along with the Library borrowings of Gypsy music and the red Army Chorus.
I was quite eclectic.
I opened for CD back in the 90’s. he was very mean to me.
But i have forgiven him because he supports the Troops.
That first Beatles record I bought was an imported Spanish 45 EP with four songs on it; “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” “Love Me Do,” and two others. I sold it on eBay 10 years ago for over $150.00. My first “Rock” album was 1963s “Joey Dee and the Starlighters at the Peppermint Lounge.”
“Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying” great Mersy Beat song from Gerry and the Pacemakers, 1964.
I wish I had saved all those records!
They could have gotten me through some tough times!
We the People
One of the great garage bands to come out of Central Florida in the 60s. Used to see these guys play at the Winter Park Youth Center. They came within inches of the big time.

Yes, but considering all the hours of pleasure you will derive from the newly-found capability of implanting umlauts and tildes in mööse posts, I think the sacrifice is well worth it.
Note: you have to do your umlauts in wordpad or notepad or *anything* and then cut & paste into a FR reply box: you’ll be kicked off the “reply” browser window if you do any of that “alt” stuff.
I am anticipating the umlauts and tildes with a thrill so palpable that it is sending a tingle up my leg!
