The first Christian messages that came to me that weren't connected to any 'isms', came from the radio. Rock n' roll stations. Not a bunch of 'Holy Baloney' but faith, love and good will. They gave me hope that there really was a God and helped me find him in Jesus. Part of rock n, rolls' roots are Gospel, blues & Folk music. The message comes through to us that listen to lyrics rather than rhythm and beats. To you that missed it, you missed a lot.

My oldest brother used my 45 RPM of Little Red Riding Hood (by Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs) for dart practice Once I started buying LPs, I pretty much gave up on 45's The Moody Blues, oh my, the stellar quality of their lyrics and music convinced me that LPs were far superior to a single, offering so much more than just the song you knew

I was not quite nine when they first gigged on the Ed Sullivan Show. I remember running to get a pencil and paper to write down their names, for it seemed momentous, hey? Wow. Was it ever
Ed began his memorable introduction:
"Now yesterday and today our theater's been jammed with newspapermen and hundreds of photographers from all over the nation, and these veterans agreed with me that this city never has witnessed the excitement stirred by these youngsters from Liverpool who call themselves The Beatles. Now tonight, you're gonna twice be entertained by them. Right now, and again in the second half of our show. Ladies and gentlemen, The Beatles! Let's bring them on."
As much as I liked their early music, I prefer their more mature offerings... pretty much everything from Rubber Soul to Let It Be. Still, at the time, they were so popular, it kind of turned me off LOL We saw their movies in the theatres when they came out

I was in the 4th grade and Ed Sullivan was borrring! Acrobats, puppets, lame (to a 10 year old) comedians. I might have been watching the Jetsons. I heard about them at school. Wow, things changed fast. But I'll skip the Beatlemania. Rubber Soul. When they changed from bubblegum teeny bopper music to substantial songs with meanings, in the studio. Yep, back in the day as they say.
We also used to watch Don Messer's Jubilee. Walt Disney was standard Sunday fare as well. When Mary Poppins came out, it was $0.35 to get into the theatre LOL.
Then it was The Smothers Brothers, the Carol Burnett Show, and Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In

Their songwriting was genius, but the delivery I found lacking. They sounded high all the time. I think that was the attraction. I still prefer to hear the Bee-Gees sing Beatle songs than the Beatles. I never got into heavy metal that was going on about the same time. As the oldies faded and heavy metal started mainstream about 1968-1970, I turned to country music exclusively. I did take my daughter to see Sgt. Pepper's Lonely ... (circa 1975).

I'm 8 years younger and made the transition with the Beatles, Peter, Paul and Mary, Simon and Garfunkel to songs that had substantial meanings like Bob Dylan. It became poetry and I could care less about the music. It was a distraction to me I was more interested in the message. I hated the Rolling Stones all they sang about was sex and drugs. As far as music went the Beach Boys are STILL my favorites with 5 part harmonies and tracks over tracks even though Brian, the leader can't sing he sings better than Dylan or a few others. Puff the Magic Dragon was heart breaking to me. I realized it was about growing up, which is what I was doing at the time. As a teen the sounds of silence resonated for years. Like Bob Seager said, "Todays music ain't got the same soul, not like that old time Rock and Roll."
