50 Years Ago Today, Everything Changed ... (Page 2)

larryhemeon: must be hard to know which foot to tap. lol,

jink88: Back in the USSR love that song

larryhemeon: Great tune, I like Get back, The day lennon passed on was a sad one for me. The true
innocent believer, am happy to have been part of the 60s and 70s and the energy, very
exciting times, and than the commercial market for Pot change from Mexico to Columbia
3 years later we had to endur disco. the movement had passed, and I am wondering what
the hell do I do now, no one told me that it would end. lol

larryhemeon: To mark the times: Sargent Pepper it was a hot time.

jink88: I know larry, we thought it would go on forever but a silly thing like growing up, having kids, getting a regular job happened but way down deep we are still children of the "flower power." No one can take those memories away

larryhemeon: Good or bad, am happy that I got to be a part of it, was down in Haight Ashberry summer of
68, Janis was playing at Morrison Park, I remeber how good it felt to be alive, I think I may
have tried to hold on to it a bit long than I should, but seems between the times and cutting
may hair everything has been downhill since then

StuckInTheSixties:

Art, by its very nature, is difficult to qualify. It's in the eye and ear of the beholder, right? Who's to say what is "good" or not when it comes to music?

But there is one way I can think of to argue that music is good or not:

how it endures over time.

Fifty years after the release of "Love Me Do," people continue to be influenced by the Beatles.

calybonos:
Yoko Ono continues to influence my nightmares and my faith in record companies interests.

OCD_OCD: Yoko is an evil, ugly harridan with the musical skills of a cat on fire.

larryhemeon: looks to be, Lennon might have been hood winked, but he must of seen something, course,
it was'nt like he did'nt have a 22 year old on his other arm. Lots of faults with all peoples,
John had as well but there was something quite innocent about, You agree or maybe I am
the hoodwinked one.

StuckInTheSixties:

I don't care for Yoko any more than anyone else, but I won't second guess John. She obviously made him very happy.

OCD_OCD: Didn't they let their son run around nekkid and never potty train him?

larryhemeon: not sure about that one, but what else would they do.

StuckInTheSixties:

And that's important to you?

larryhemeon: Glad some of the oldies get on air, otherwise I wouldn't remember those days, smiling just thinking about it

OCD_OCD: It was a little factoid that I was told that stuck with me. Probably because I have a very vivid imagination and I imagined them stepping in puddles of pee and having to hop over the piles.

calybonos: It aint easy being fab.

xapim: "blue moon of kentucky"

StuckInTheSixties:

That has nothing whatsoever to do with anything in this thread, adam.

xapim: didn't the beatles played " blue moon of kentucky" which was grand ole' opry?

OCD_OCD: He is joking, right?

Corwin: Or is he thinking of Elvis? Elvis sang that song at the Grand ole Opry back in 1954.

Pretty hard to get Elvis confused with the Beatles though.... different hair-cut, musical style, and there was four of them..... The Beatles, I mean, not Elvises.

There were only two Elvises... the thin one that did surfer movies, and the fat one that croaked on his toilet.

Geoff: But by the end Elvis took up four chairs.

xapim: no the beatles played it "blue moon" like late 50's -61' it was only played live, they played elvis songs to "blue suade shoe's" and chubby checker, i think later 90's they played it on good mornin america ???

Corwin: In the late 90's the Beatles were hiring themselves out as a gymnastic trampoline act, performing at Barmitzvas and funerals...... up until their break-up in 2002 when George Harrison sprained his ankle doing a triple backflip while playing the Star Spangled Banner on a tuba.
