Stepping back in time.. to my dad's era..
At least music was still music, no matter where it came from.
Rock n Roll’s been going downhill ever since Buddy Holly died.
BKMRK.
I didn’t know him well, but I went to high school with the son of one of the Four Tops. No idea if he could sing
We had some relatives over for dinner. I got up to go to the bathroom and turned on the radio. CKLW. The DJ, Super Ma Kinkel reported the rumor of Elvis’s death. I came out and told the family.
Black people may have been coming out of the effects of direct and indirect discrimination, but there was little hatred between them. It took the DEMOCRATS, JESSE JACKSON, BLACK PANTHERS, Weathermen, Al Sharptongue and again DEMOCRATS to ratchet it up to war in the Streets, the Courts and in the Schools.
The music was not angry, it was happy for ALL races.
"Rock n Roll’s been going downhill ever since Buddy Holly died."
I agree. Wish it could go back to the way it was.
