  7. Without Stewat Copeland's unusual (for the time) use of reggae rhythms in pop rock songs, none of us would have ever heard of The Police or Sting.

  12. "Sh-Boom" ("Life Could Be a Dream") is a #doowop song by the #RAndB vocal group #theChords. It was written by James Keyes, Claude Feaster, Carl Feaster, Floyd F. McRae, and William Edwards, members of the Chords, and was released in 1954. It is sometimes considered the first doo-wop or #rockAndRoll record to reach the top ten on the pop charts (as opposed to the R&B charts), as it was a top-10 hit that year for both the Chords (who first recorded the song).

  17. Finally made it to the #RockAndRoll #HallOfFame. Underwhelming. It's like one good floor in the basement plus a video, garage band, the walk of fame and the gift shop.

    I'm not against such places but they need proper curation. Same with award shows. It should be less about who is great but instead what's the bigger story and why do these artists, events and scenes matter. Provide multiple perspectives like a great museum does.

    It's fine but you're better off with #500Songs.

  20. If I was still playing #guitar I’d have to seriously consider getting a Shark. Such cool use of technology to solve some longstanding issues and move the needle on what’s possible.

    I will never not boost this record. Bruce hit my 14 year old, suburban NJ head like nothing ever had before and almost nothing has since!! #rockandroll #music

  23. #TIL that the Monkeess' song "Last Train To Clarksville" is about a soldier shipping off to Vietnam looking for one last booty call. Boyce&Hart intended it to be a stealthy anti-war protest song. Thinking about the lyrics now, it seems so obvious.

    "And I don't know if I'm ever coming home."

    I was also surprised late in life to learn that Liberace, Paul Lynde, Elton John, and Charles Nelson Reilly were gay.

    So, I guess I'm a bit of a dolt.

  24. Before I open myself up to a heap of Internet abuse, a disclaimer. I love Rush, I love Geddy, and I am pretty Ok with Geddy's voice. That said...

    Just imagine if Rush were fronted by a female lead singer with a voice like Anne Wilson's from Heart. My god!

    Similarly, I have long fantasized about Roky Erikson singing Ramblin' Rose for The MC-5 rather than Wayne (who I also love). Whoa!

    Just one dude's opinions. I may be wrong(-ish).

  25. "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" (sometimes rendered "Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On") is a song written by Dave "Curlee" Williams and sometimes also credited to #JamesFayeRoyHall. The song was first recorded by #BigMaybelle, though the best-known version is the 1957 #rockAndRoll/ #rockabilly version by #JerryLeeLewis.

  26. Bobby Curtola: Canada's Original Teen Idol! 🎸🌟

    Before global superstars, Canada had Bobby Curtola! Rising to fame in the early 1960s, this Port Arthur, Ontario native became one of the country's first true rock 'n' roll teen idols. His hit 'Fortune Teller' launched a career that saw him tour internationally and remain a beloved figure in Canadian music for decades. A true pioneer! #Canada #BobbyCurtola #CanadianMusic #RockAndRoll
