Most excellent - it's like the Stones and the Who pretended to be tough - while the Kinks really were - it cost them but they wouldn't have done it any other way.

Myself and my friends had been waiting for them to come to the hotel in NYC. We got the news they had been banned and wouldn't be appearing. The word on the street back then was one of them was caught with a bit of marijuana while boarding a plane in Germany and the US immediately banned them from coming here.
I'm not saying it was true, it was just the rumor floating around. I can remember it to this day because I was HUGELY disappointed. Never did get to talk to them or see them live. :(

Viewers Note:
The purpose of posting this clip was due to a discussion about exactly why the Kinks were banned from the USA.
The discussion was in the comments section of 20th Century Man of which this video is a video response.
It was not to prove anyone right or wrong! It was just for the sake of accuracy and to see & hear it in Ray's own words.

BritIron - thanks for the note back. Don't know what else is in the program, but if you think there's anything worthwhile to post, I'll definitely watch it. I love the Kinks!

Cool...I'll have to re-watch the thing and see what might be of interest.
YouTube has a 10 minute limit by the way.

Thanks for posting! I'd read about the Cardiff incident in "The Kinks - A Very English Band" by Neville Marten & Jeff Hudson. Fascinating stories of the colorful history of the Kinks - highly recommended, very entertaining!

Thanks...and thanks for the heads-up on the book too.
This was just a small clip taken from a much longer program. If there's anything else you might want to see, I could rip it and post it.

If you go to my channel, you will find the entire program in four parts (due to YouTube's ten minute limit).
