Loved it.
We sang Black Betty as a kid.
One of my students used to mock me about my love for Pavement. Now that’s all he listens to.
I used to think like you but there are some decent musicians out there.
They have been listening to The Who, Styx, Billy Joel, Marshal Tucker, Fleetwood Mac, America, The Call, the musicals "OLiver", "Oklahoma", "Singin' in the Rain" and a whole bunch of other eclectic stuff. It's fun watching them sing in the back seat of the car.
My Mom would lock me in the playpen in the living room. I’d start screaming “Usmic! Usmic!” It was the third word I’d “learned” after “Mama” and “Daddy.” She’d put a stack of Piano Boogie Woogie on the record player, and I’d shut up until the stack needed to be turned over, over, and over. And they could never figure out why I became a musician! As a guitarist, people ask me who my favorite musician is, and when I tell them “Albert Ammons” they get very confused! I have a large collection of Piano Boogie Woogie 78s, but if I play them in the evening, I can’t sleep that night, cuz I’m rockin’ out. “Usmic! Usmic!”

Oh oh! I shouldn’t have listened to that. I’ll need a sleeping pill tonight!
I hated the music my parents liked. It was awful elevator type music.
My kids love the music that I listened to. Of course, I liked upbeat rock-n-roll.
One of my daughters does. She loves classical!
My son can jam the power chords in Dirty Laundry on the guitar....
Greatest song by any Eagle during their solo careers. Still spot on 30 years later.
Free Bird gets a free pass?
I suspect if you go to any predominantly White Middle School or High School, the most popular band among them will be..........Led Zeppelin.
What about the voice of Geddy Lee?
Compare Miley Cyrus to Elvis Presley.
Trivia Question, who are the two soloists on that song?
“Compare Miley Cyrus to Elvis Presley.”
that’s like comparing a toilet to a throne
I did. And they were popular. But I never got into Led Zeppelin, Grateful Dead, or Pink Floyd.
I adore the music that my parents listened to, and they adored the music that their parents listened to. My musical taste is between 40 and 90 years old.
This one’s for you Gramma!

Can't listen to pre-Permanent Waves Rush, by then Geddy's voice became more normal.
Must be why I like Frank Sinatra so much...
