IUFLA Posted May 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 The TV appearance that opened the Rock and Roll floodgates... I give Elvis a lot of credit, and understand rock was basically derived from a lot of black musicians music, but these guys made it mainstream... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Oh my. How could I not offer this ? John Denver-"Rocky Mountain High" Truly meaningful to me. Coming home to a place he never knew before. You might say he left his home behind him. When he first came to the mountains. His life was faraway.

He wrote it for his young son who was jumping around his apt and accidentally went out a window and died. It’s a beautiful song, but I just can’t listen to it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jv1972iu Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Personally, I've really enjoyed hearing the Guns 'N' Roses cover of Live and Let Die lately. LOL 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side note on Clapton and Harrison, as some don't know but those two were really close, and IIRC Clapton plays lead on the Beatles/Harrison's While My Guitar Gently Weeps And another side note from my high school days -- this girl in my class, apparently thinking she was going to dis me, told me she had watched SNL and there was this weird guy on that reminded her of me -- George Harrison. He was then one of my favorite guitarists and by far my favorite Beatle, I was like wow what a compliment! lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison called Clapton his "husband-in-law." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdhoosier Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 My friend just sent this to me and I thought it was pretty cool. The Hood Internet is mashing 50 songs/videos into 3 minutes by year they came out. He started with 1979 and has made it up to 1985. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Wife and I were in downtown Nashville a few years ago walking past a hotel parking lot when some guy pulling out greeted us and asked how we were doing and if we were having a good time. At the end before he drove off I said Tutti Frutti! It was Little Richard we were talking to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Had a similar experience at IU late 80s, at the Classic Cup (coffee shop back in the day), this guy starts talking to me about bands and my roommate just stands there with his mouth open. I look at him like what? Back to talking to the dude. He walks out and I turn to my roommate and he says dude, that was Michael Stipe! lol, REM was in town. Stipe was cool 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted May 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) Forgot Henry Lee Summer... My friends and I use to go see him at a club in Greenwood called The Banyan Tree. Hung out with him at the bar alot. 10 years later, I was in Greenland perusing the small CD collection they had in the tiny BX, and lo and behold, there was Henry Lee on a self titled album (which is really pretty good). Bought it...took it to the NCO Club and had them play it, and the Danes all loved it... So if Henry Lee is wondering why he had an uptick in sales in Greenland and Denmark in the late 80s... You're welcome... Edited May 15, 2020 by IUFLA 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
