Because the music is often artificially generated and there are only about three basic beats it’s played too.. Not to mention the pitch correction software that could make a dog sound like a singer… |

Very nice article. Have always been a fan of their music and thought Huey was an underrated singer. This is one of my favorites by him. |

Doing any Night Driving? Must include Van Morrison's "Moondance." Clipper I'm now humming that song as I type. What a great album, "Into the Mystic" is my favorite song by Van Morrison. Sorry to get in four weeks late on Van Morrison. Into the Mystic is a great song, but my favorite of his is " Caravan". |

I wanted to post earlier but I have been preoccupied -- broadcasting live from Istanbul, one of the world's truly great cities -- but February 9 was the sixtieth anniversary of The Beatles first appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show." Anyone of a certain vintage remembers it vividly.
You had to be there to appreciate what an overwhelming buzz there was for this event. Over 73 million viewers tuned in -- about 40 percent of the entire US population at that time. "I Want To Hold Your Hand" had been released in late December and was number one on the Billboard Hot 100. It was difficult to hear them over the screaming girls in the audience. And they continued to scream throughout the show, making it hard for the other acts to perform despite Sullivan admonishing the audience several times.
The Beatles opened the show with "All My Loving" and "Til There Was You" and "She Loves You." Then some poor magician came out and grinded through his routine with impatient girls letting out screams. I remember feeling sorry for the guy even though I was only watching to see The Beatles.
Impressionist Frank Gorshin, later to be The Riddler on "Batman," was thrown off his game, and then came the usual run of comedians and acrobats and finally the Broadway cast of "Oliver," whose troop included a then-unknown Davey Jones. The Beatles ended up with I believe "Please Please Me" and "I Saw Her Standing There." They appeared on Sullivan's show the next two Sundays as well. By then the other acts began making references to them just to get an easy applause line. I remember Soupy Sales being one of those acts, performing "Do The Mouse" as he ran through the audience.
That date is as distant from today as it was from 1904. How does that happen?

Just read that the 2024 Rock Hall nominees were announced and they are Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Cher, Dave Matthews Band, Eric B. & Rakim, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Jane’s Addiction, Kool & The Gang, Lenny Kravitz, Oasis, Sinead O’Connor, Ozzy Osbourne, Sade, and A Tribe Called Quest.
Now I am an approaching 60 classic rock guy. So with that disclaimer, in my opinion the only ones who should be considered Rock and Roll HoF are Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Kool & The Gang, and Ozzy Osbourne.
Thoughts??

I've said before that it should be renamed to the Music Hall of Fame. Maybe have a seperate Rock HOF. |
