Many guys could never admit to being groupies, but we emulated our idols by working (especially us blue collar types) as hard as they did.
The sight and sounds of Lynyrd SkyNyrd (e.g) were an attestation to us northern boys that we were all in this together
Hell ... I have so much starting to flow , I'm just running off at the mind ... I think I'll go vegitate on youtube for a while .... I miss the 60's and early 70's music
It’s easy to “edit” the occasional “hell” or “damn” in the occasional Classic Rock Song for my pre-teens to perform (Uncle John’s band, Hotel California, etc), but the content of most rap and hip hop stuff is impossible to “clean up”, without rewriting the whole thing. It’s not just the words, it’s the spirit of the song. I agree with you. Time to put on some old Allman bros records! :-)
