Timeless Rock

1960's Classic Rock Performances

Like a lot of aging baby boomers, I still have a soft spot in my heart for rock music. Others might call it "rock and roll" but I prefer to call it just plain old "rock" music because my favorite rock bands of all time were those British rock bands from the Sixties and the 1960's American bands that were influenced by them. I liked the big, brassy, live-stage sound of that early rock music, especially when I watched these bands perform on The Ed Sullivan Show or heard their songs being played on American Bandstand.

Being the nostalgic fool that I am and, yeah, I guess, the romantic fool that I've always been, I created another personal website this past weekend just to pay homage to the British and American rock bands from the 1960s that made such an impression on me as a teenager and as a young man.

And, yep, it still has an effect on an old, nostalgic fool like me who remembers quite vividly that 60's rock music was all about fun, dancing and, you bet, romance. Just click on the picture if you want to see the 5th and, hopefully, the last entertainment satellite I'll ever attach to my official website. 

Britain Invades Manhattan

On February 9, 1964 the Beatles first appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show and thus began the downward spiral of American culture and the slow demise of Western civilization as we knew it. It took them almost 200 years but the British finally paid us Yankees back for stealing the Thirteen Colonies from them in 1776.

But we've patched it up with "Merry Old England" since then and, even though both our countries are going to hell in a handbasket, we often go marching off to war together as if all that unpleasantness had simply never happened.
