George passed also (15 years ago), so only Paul and Ringo are still walking this world.

I am in tears just looking at all these wonderful images from over the years of the collaborations between John and Paul. They were quite the pairing :)

And in came the female species and messed it all up for them :p.......

The only old(ish) rock 'n' roll that I really listen to is Elvis...and as a man I can't say that I agree with him. he was a darn good singer though!
My two favorite songs by Elvis are Suspicious Minds and Burning Love. :cool:

Hmmm, Elvis died on August 16th, 1977. It was a few short days before
I left my home province to hitchhike out west with two friends of mine.
Thirty nine years later, I am still here! Amazing, and thank you, God :)

Neil Young was a staple for me in those days. Here he is, live in '71.

I remember a Top of the Pops "episode" where they introduced a clip saying
"Yea, they were allowed to dress like that back then"


Apparently I am old enough to have lived "back then", then. EEeeek!

It's interesting how classic rock still dominates the radio. You'd be hard pressed to find a genre that goes better with roaring engines and cheap gas station food.

That said, my favorite genre has to be music made between 1999 and 2007.

The post-punk revival/ garage rock from the era rocked hard. A lot of the Baby Boomers I've introduced the White Stripes and Black Keys to end up liking them.

Splitter pine doesn't literally mean anything, but it's used to express frustration.

A lot of the really good stuff died before even I was born.
Was it called rock and roll in those long ago days of yore?

I will never forget the night at karaoke when a young man got up and sang Limelight with no lyrics to follow on the screen... he did an amazing job! They used to play in basement bars around my home town when I was in high school and college. :D Harry's Hideaway haha Buuuuttttttt I was not really into them in those days. I saw Bruce Cockburn a lot, and also Foot In Cold Water. Loved those guys' music!

Searching for Sugar Man (2012) - Watch Free Documentaries Online

This is certainly one of the best movies about an American artist that was not popular in America but very popular in South Africa and Australia. If you have time please watch this documentary and see how the Americans almost miss one of the best singer songwriters (in my opinion) of his era.
