In 1958, Uncle Al used a "birthday slide" and you got slide down if it was your birthday. My brother climbed up to the top of the slide. Uncle Al said, "and how old are you today?" My brother said, "it's not my birthday!" ... and slid down the slide! Live TV ... and the audience ro...

I often wonder "what was it about The Beatles." I think that after the assassination of JFK in November of 1963, we needed someone to "hold our hand." The Beatles did exactly THAT.

Eddie Brigati has a little James Brown in him there. This a really neat video capturing the energy of the Rascals ... back in the day.

@jorer33

The Doors original version of what?

@jdgssf

You are incorrect. It was first released by Bob and Earl in 1963 and written by Fred Smith. This is a cover by the Rolling Stones.

Unless it was a local tv show, I don't recall it. There was a movie entitled "A Go Go 67", however. The "Hullabaloo A Go Go" was a segment as part of the TV show, "Hullabaloo."

Really nice job. Very clean. Bravo!

@celticwitan

Wait a minute ...you stated the "Monkeeys" were way better than the Beatles??? Surely, you jest!

@MJ4lyph

From watching those movies, I discovered the Big Band Era of my parents. Since then, I've been attracted to Swing music of the 40s. I've also been attracted to the Blues by listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan. Also, being a former US History teacher, I've become curious as to where musi...

James Brown was THE BEST.

BTW ... does anybody remember Wayne Cochran? He was a white James Brown ... blonde hair and all. His band was the C.C. Riders. He did the same things James Brown did. LOL ... he was pretty good, too.

That was pretty neat. I've always liked that tune. I was able to hear things in your playing that I didn't hear in the original tune. Well done ...

@buckize68

Yes ... the music of th 60s and 70s is about all there is for me to listen to. Actually, I heard The Chambers Brothers do "I Can't Turn You Loose" before I heard Otis. It was only after finding out that tune was an Otis Redding number did I discover Otis. Man oh man ... Otis, Sam ...

Sgt Bilko was the emcee that night on Hollywood Palace!! LOL ... amazing.

James Brown is an amazing entertainer. To watch him dance to the smoothest grooves and sharpest guitar licks causes one's head to nod and bob ... shoulders to bounce ... hips to roll. It just puts a smile on one's face to listen and to watch this guy just moooooove!

Absolutely amazing!

@mrbriscoe2001

Okay ... okay ... you win. Rodman is the BEST. He was a rebounding machine. He was a lockdown defender. He made all of the people around him better. I can't understand why I haven't seen it before now. You have really opened my eyes. And, yes ... I'm silly in my comments. ...

It's good to see a player sniff that play out and make the tackle. You can fool some of the people some of the time ...

oh my goodness ... that IS a cool play!

That is a low down play. I'd hate to have that done to my team, but, lol ... it WAS a sly call. Does anybody know the "Lonesome End" play? Another trick play ...

@opticage

Okay ... okay ... you win. Hendrix is THE BEST EVER. And, you know more than anyone about guitar playing, Hendrix, and the countless musicians he inspired to the level just beneath his vaunted status.

BTW ... I'm not your son.

LOL ... man oh man ... I saw these guys open for The Who in Athens, Ohio in 1969 and in Cincinnati at Music Hall in 1970. Both great shows. They look typically 1970s. For those of you who wonder what the 70s looked and sounded like ... watch this video ... LOL.

I'll bet Jeff Beck just sits around all day and practices his chords ... LOL ... thinking "one day, I'll really be good!"

Jeff Beck is in league by himself in terms of playing the guitar. Yes, there are quite a number of "great" guitarists. He gets every bit of sound out of his instrument. It's like he knows that wherever he puts his fingers, he knows exactly what the sound will be and how to get even more out of ...

Oh ... okay ...I get it "I Want to Take You Higher" when it was written had Heaven in mind. I got it. I still just don't get the "boom lakka lakka boom lakka lakka" unless Sly was singing "in tounges" which given his "natural" state of drug induced creativity ... was most likely what he was do...

@apsscinc

I'm a "baby boomer" and I wouldn't go THAT far. They were another band among many bands at that time with a few good songs. But, that's about it. They are NOT the image of the 60s for if that be true, they'd be an image of violence, hate, war, destruction, disallusionment. If you ...
