The Beat of the Sixties

The Rolling Stones were the bad boys
   Amped-up volume, lyrics semi-obscene
Jimi Hendrix -- hypnotic, Frank Zappa -- psychotic
   The Monkees? ~ Even their fingernails were clean

J. Summers Date: 12/4/2020 4:31:00 PM The Monkees were squeaky clean all right. But from time to time they could rock as well as anyone. Well, probably not as well as The Stones, Hendrix, or Zappa.

Akkina Downing Date: 12/3/2020 8:08:00 PM Oh I love The Rolling Stones, and I was glad to meet Mick Jagger in Montauk, NY some years ago...

Great story, Akkina! :) gw Akkina Downing Date: 12/3/2020 9:31:00 PM At first I didn’t know who he was I was saying hello to until I was told he was the famous Jagger. After then he became one of my fave singer... Lol! Gershon Wolf Date: 12/3/2020 8:29:00 PM Now there's a meeting to remember... although you're nowhere near old enough to have met Jagger in Montauk, NY. Right?! ... Music and Laughter, Gershon
