    Another flashback

    This one's more entertaining than the Manson thing.

    These guys were actually GOOD--at the time they were thought of as the next big thing, after the Who and Bowie et al. They never quite made it...

    Say what you want about the 70's, people had more fun then.

    I think I'll stick to the 60's; sure we didn't have much fun, but for the most part we were too stoned to know it!
    As someone once said 'if you remember Woodstock, then you weren't there.

      Some groups just made a lot of noise. I think back to some of the real geniuses of music, like Simon and Garfunkel, The Beatles, The Everly Brothers, The Righteous Brothers, and others that sang songs that you could make out the words.

        The words are pretty simple:

        "It's, it's a ballroom blitz!" Repeat 5 or 6 times while wearing spandex and platform shoes...

          I'll bet you're quite a sight. Have you considered a vacation?

            The song regained some popularity after the release of Wayne's World.

              It is one of the songs Life on Mars has caused to play in my head. (the GOOD version, not the US demake (massacred remake))

                Richard, thanks for the link. As I clicked on it and it started playing my phone rang. When I looked at the Caller ID I could see that it was a telemarketer so I cranked up the speaker volume, answered the phone and just held it up to the speaker. I would have loved to see the look on that telemarketers face.
