Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

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 December 4, 2020 at 4:31 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. Gershon Wolf December 5, 2020 at 5:46 PM You're right. They had a couple of pretty good songs, as I recall. Yet they were by and large a media creation... :) gw

Akkina Downing December 3, 2020 at 8:08 PM Oh I love The Rolling Stones, and I was glad to meet Mick Jagger in Montauk, NY some years ago... Gershon Wolf December 5, 2020 at 5:45 PM No kidding! Great story, Akkina! :) gw Akkina Downing December 3, 2020 at 9:31 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 December 3, 2020 at 8:29 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
