For the third month in a row, I didn't get to write down Bob Stroud's comments on his Rock and Roll Roots Time Warp. But, at least this time I got to listen to part of the show as we were in the Chicago suburbs for Liz's school's 100th anniversary.
April 25, 1969, I was getting ready to graduate from Palatine Township High School in Palatine, Illinois. I was enjoying Mr. Denny's Social Studies Survey Class and probably getting ready to go to prom with Liz.
I was sure happy to be leaving as sports editor of the Cutlass, the school paper.
I had already been accepted at Northern Illinois University in Dekalb.
All comments are mine.
ROCK ME-- STEPPENWOLF-- This song played all the time in the Senior Lounge at Palatine High School. Always reminds me of it.
TWENTY-FIVE MILES-- EDWIN STARR-- If you're only going to have two really big hits, this one and "War" are good choices.
THESE EYES-- GUESS WHO-- Canadian rockers.
YOU MADE ME SO VERY HAPPY-- BST-- Blue-eyed blues.
PINBALL WIZARD-- WHO-- From the Rock Opera "Tommy."
MEDICINE MAN (PART 1)-- BUCHANAN BROTHERS-- One of my favorites from this time. One-hit wonders.
Rock me All Night Long. --RoadDog
OXYMORON: Why does "slow down" and "slow up" mean the same thing?
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
