To Smackie's point about Dylan and his influence, there would not have been creative lyricists like Seger without first having a groundbreaker like Dylan come along and take rock from "One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock rock" and "She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah" into something more thought-provoking and perhaps socially conscious.

Seger was great, Springsteen (mostly early), also -- but without a Dylan first, they don't happen.

That's why I put Bobby Zimmerman up there.

They may have started as Beetles, then someone came up with a clever spelling giving it a musical connotation. It is OK to not know, plenty don't, but you look like a dumbass when you you go to the "yeah, I knew that card".

The very term "Rock and Roll" comes from the blues. Some folks are suggesting the 50s stars. I'm taking it back a decade or two further. Without Johnson, Muddy, Howlin Wolf and BB, Jimmy Page is still playing skiffle, Mick Jagger is just some ugly dude and Black Sabbath is a movie with Boris Karloff.

Does he get the Dave Clark Five?

Makes me glad all over.

I'm in bits and pieces.

Only if that is the name of the game. Otherwise you may be waiting "til the right one comes along.

We'll get the answer...in Nineteen Days.

What, no love for Pat Boone?

Seems only fair that Pat Boone should ruin white people's music too.

Strangely never thought to ask what Mike, Lenny, Rick, Dave and Dennis thought of Viet Nam. If I'm curious about social unrest, political subjects, etc, I reserve the topic for academics, North Korean politicians or some sort of white paper.
Everything in its place, how your car broke down and you couldn't get to the dance is all I expect or want to know. Or better yet, play instrumental.

No Stopping is frikken deadly!
