re: #114 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
I remember that back in the 7th grade I was still into John Denver, Bobby Goldsboro and the Carpenters. Closest I came to hip were Cat Stevens and Gordon Lightfoot.
Then my buddy Richard Heilscher sat me down in his cellar and played me MC5, Deep Purple, Neil Young and a bit of Cheech and Chong on the side.
Then my next-door neighbor a real Anglophile played me Small Faces, Joe Cocker, the Who, Slade and (pre-Dark Side of the Moon) Pink Floyd.
I was converted to Rock and Roll.
Nothing wrong with any of them, they’re all good (I have no experience with MC5, but will check out).
