OPENING THEME: Let It Out (Let it All Hang Out) by The Hombres
Stop And Think It Over by Mary Weiss
That's What She Said Last Night by Billy Joe Shaver
I just tried to post a video of Sierra Ferrell's recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel. But for reasons far beyond my limited comprehension, Facebook is not letting me post it because "it includes content that other people on Facebook have reported as abusive."
What the bleeding fuck!
I don't see or hear anything that could be considered "abusive" or even "offensive" (Well, the song is about a fox hunt, so maybe some high-string PETA dolt?" Maybe some MAGA troll trying to "own the libs" in revenge for FB banning his Alex Jones videos? Someone who doesn't like Sierra's music? )
Then when I press the FB to dispute the abusiveness of the video, I get the message "Sorry, something went wrong.
We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can."
Christ!
Anyway, as a workaround, I'm embedding the video below. (And, of course, I'm posting it on Facebook.) Prepare for some serious abuse:
One thing that routinely disgusts me on Facebook are members of MY GENERATION, who routinely post lame memes and other much-shared screeds with the basic message, "Kids these days might think we're a bunch of doddering old farts now, but they're just jealous because back in the '60s we had the best music ..."
There are scores of variations on this theme. Sometimes it's used as an attack on "modern" sounds (i.e. anything made after 1976). Often there's a streak of self-righteousness, i.e. "Our music helped stop a war," etc. And sometimes it's just wistful nostalgia.
Whatever the motive, it's embarrassing to oldsters like me who did love a lot of the music of the JFK/LBJ/Nixon eras, but who also delight in discovering new sounds.
And here's the thing: for every group like The Beatles there were a dozen Gerry & The Pacemakers. For every Bob Dylan, there were a dozen Johnny Tillotsons. For every Sam the Sham, there were a dozen Englebert Humperdincks. And so on ...
So below, are five songs you can post in reply to the next softheaded, "our music was the best" Boomer meme that pollutes your Facebook feed.
Let's start with this gem:
One day when I was back in grade school I was riding with my grandmother in
her car. The following song came on the radio and by the time Mike Clifford
started whining his vocal part, my little hand darted to the radio to turn it
off. My grandmother laughed. "You really don't like that song, do you," she
said, clearly amused. "I HATE this song!" I replied. She laughed again, but at
that moment, a music critic was born.
Hear for yourself ...
Here's one from a pint-sized proto-Michael Jackson (or at least a Frankie
Lymon also-ran), 12-year-old Ronnie Goodson and his group The Hi-Lites, described by the
experts at Wikipedia as, "a slow ballad sung from the point of view of a young
boy expressing his wishes that he and his sweetheart would stay together."
So touching ...
This, the only big hit for Philadelphia singer Diane Renay, actually was
produced by Bob Crewe, best known for his work with The Four Seasons, whose
"Rag Doll," co-written and produced by Crewe, is probably my favorite single
ever. It's hard to believe that Renay's naval-gazing dreck was released the same year as
"Rag Doll." Renay attempted a follow-up hit with "Kiss Me Sailor." But that
one didn't go anywhere, though reportedly it was popular with San Diego sex
workers.
"But, Steve," you're probably saying, "These ones so far are all from the
early '60s, before the musical revolution started by cool bands like The
Beatles, The Stones and The Bob Dylans had fully taken root!"
That's true. But that so-called revolution couldn't halt the onslaught of Gary
Puckett & The Union Gap:
And while this 1966 hit by a band called The Trade Winds was pure peak puke, on the upside, if it kept just one potential addict away from the drug culture, it was worth it:
