the retro rock band

Except that's not what it was. Sha Na Na was at least Do-whop Rock n' Roll.

A Sha Na Na skit (”The Lion Sleeps Tonight”) that would never ever be allowed today.

Sha Na Na were the bravest band at Woodstock, they stood before 50,000+ unwashed hippies and sang “Get A Job” (they opened and closed with it).

I’d heard that from the time he was a very young man, long before law school, he had an inherent genius when it came to contracts.

One of my favorite albums by Sha-Na-Na: “Hot Sox”. Trying to find it on CD or anything digital.

"Bowser" is apparently still alive.
He reminded me of a white "JJ" (of the show Good Times)

"Jon "Bowzer" Bauman (born September 14, 1947) is an American musician, best known as a member of the band Sha Na Na, and game show host. Bauman's popular Sha Na Na character, "Bowzer" (sometimes called "Bowzer J. Bowzer"), was a gangly, slender-armed greaser in a muscle shirt."--Wikipedia

Almost all rock is retro nowadays. Sha-Na-Na seemed to be the group that launched the ‘nostalgia movement’ in rock and roll before American Graffiti made it to the big screen. Looking back on high school in the mid-’70s, it’s odd that the jocks were so nostalgic for a time when they were barely out of their diapers or not even born yet. However, by the time Disco hit big, the golden oldies were absolutely preferable and by 1982, a lot of rock and rollers needed a break from Led Zeppelin. Jazz-Rock fusion had been big too but a lot of those bands just quietly went away.

Teen Angel. At Woodstock!

Very sad song...
_________________

Teen angel, teen angel, teen angel...

That fateful night the car was stalled
upon the railroad track
I pulled you out and we were safe
but you went running back

Teen angel, can you hear me
Teen angel, can you see me
Are you somewhere up above
And I am still your own true love

What was it you were looking for
that took your life that night
They said they found my high school ring
clutched in your fingers tight

Teen angel, can you hear me
Teen angel, can you see me
Are you somewhere up above
And I am still your own true love

Just sweet sixteen, and now you’re gone
They’ve taken you away.
I’ll never kiss your lips again
They buried you today

Teen angel, can you hear me
Teen angel, can you see me
Are you somewhere up above
And I am still your own true love
Teen angel, teen angel, answer me, please

Yep. I didn’t know Dennis well, we met a couple of times. The only two rockers on campus.
