Jeff Beck is the only one on the list I really like.
Run DMC was fun but where are they now?

The rock and roll hall of fame has a lot of interesting people inducted. When I was there they had a huge woody guthrie display.

Woody was hardly a rocker and was quite Commie, but the exhibit was fascinating. All of his instruments had been carved with various slogans like “This Machine Kill’s Fascism” I looked at all this stuff in amazement thinking back to how innocent we were when we sang “This land is your land” in school and how now it all sounded different to me knowing this man’s heart.

Anyhow, the R+R hall of fame is a fascinating place.
Reading letters from Jim Morrison to his parents he said “Buy me (something)or i will kill you!”

Janice Joplins porsche was very cool. hand painted by big brother and the holding company.

huh. If I ever have the chance, I’ll definitely go to the museum. Not sure how Woody could claim his music kills fascism when commie ideals aren’t exactly better, but I agree it’s interesting. :)

“This land is your land” was written as a response to Irving Berlin's "God Bless America". And Pete Seeger added even more antiamericanism to "This Land...". He also gruffed when (as a card carryign Communist) he was kept off a children's show in the 1950s. He does not deny his politics (and he was a die hard Stalinist in those days, took him 40 years to concede that Stalin did some very evil things) but he thinks he should have had access to kids to poison their minds and indoctrinate them.
