That'll Be the Day
Wake Up Little Suzie
I was once seranaded with this song by a German basketball
team as I laid passed out next to my car in an underground parking lot in Munich. After a nite of partying at the Octoberfest. True story, that's what I woke up to.
Rock's coming of age was when...
Dylan went electric?
The Beatles took acid and put our "Revolver"?
The Mothers of Invention put out "Freak Out"?
or even earlier?
One of those vivid memories.
The radio is playing at my grandparents' house (no tv yet), and a song comes on. I was about 10. I perk up; "What is this," I think. Not an endorsement of the song, but this is the first time I had contact with anything approaching rock 'n roll:
