When I was in high school (1963-1967), Rock and Roll didn't have much history yet. But I did get to experience first-hand the breakthrough of the Beatles and the British Invasion through the Summer of Love psychedelia.
I just found out Bo Diddley is appearing locally (just up the road a piece) a week from Friday. It is good to know he is still out playing around the country at age 75.
Soon as three o'clock rolls around
You finally lay your burden down
Close up your books, get out of your seat
Down the halls and into the street
Up to the corner and round the bend
Right to the juke joint, you go in ...
Hail, Hail Rock and Roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Long Live Rock and Roll
The beat of the drums, loud and bold
Rock, Rock, Rock and Roll
The feeling is there, Body and Soul ~ from School Day by Chuck Berry
