What is rock and roll to me?

Tweet

I am watching PBS with a show on about Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Rock and roll rolls me up and puts me away. People didn't think it would last. How funny! It was funny but the other day I was listening to the Doors and my grandson comes upstairs asking me who this was. He was instantly a fan. My 12 year old grandson had never heard it before. Does my heart good. When I was in junior high I spent a lot of time at my friend B's house. Her mother was usually gone and we had the run of the house. Her mom had a charge account at the drug store up the hill and B would charge the newest record and we would listen to it until we had either nearly had it worn out or another we liked came out. We also used to listen to Wolf Man Jack in the summers. We'd set the radio in the window and blare it out to the window. Why we never heard anything from the neighbors I don't know. My favorites bands: The Doors, Santana, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Led Zepplin, Arlo Guthrie--Alice's Restaurant (if you haven't heard it, seek It out and listen to it), Joe Cocker, Judy Collins, A/C D/C, Eric Clapton, Sly and the Family Stone, Beach Boys, Everly Brothers, and many more I can't recall.
