Somebody to Love was one of Jefferson Airplane's biggest hits. I wish we still had the good old rock an roll from the 80's back.

@LindaOHio That's for sure! I could do without just about all the current ones. I do love George Straight and Garth Brooks though.

@kareng I only like a handful of country artists (Patsy Cline, Shania Twain, etc.)

Yes. There's not much modern music that I care for. Just certain artists.

I was not around for the broadcast of War of the Worlds but I have heard it and I could totally see how in that day and age people could have believed it and freaked out over it.
