Me too! I love this stuff. sad to see how far our culture has sunk.
Indeed. Kids today don’t have much in the way of “music” or movies. For us, it was one hit after another, week after week. Astounding the number of great songs from those years, especially the early 60’s. The fact that rock n roll was only a few years old by then is even more impressive. The creativity that evolved did so quickly and the variety of music, be it black/white, boy/girl, groups/solo, USA/foreign, vocals/instrumentals, soundtracks/novelty songs and so forth, was just unbelivable.
Too bad that momentum didn’t continue. How great it would be to have had so many more songs to celebrate. Instead, as I occasionally glance at what’s “popular” today it’s nothing more than a list of forgettable “songs” and “artists”
