American Music

American Bandstand caused dance explosions
fearful grandparents held investigations
jailed killers loved music 
nothing on plastic
quitters reverse strategies
underlining victories
wishing X 
youngsters’ zest

Saturday 1975

ABC’s Schoolhouse Rock
was worth setting the clock

learning on the weekends
and having fun with friends

American Bandstand
and Soul Train worth a grand

during the day I’ll play
night I’m dancing away

ending it with Saturday Night Live
in the year nineteen–seventy-five

Premium Member Where I Was In the 1970's

Where you were in the 70's

Wore pink elephant-collar silk shirts 
 I was preteen, teen young adult
 Danced in polyester bell bottom pants
 Lived in the center of USA heart lands
Where I was in the 70's
Watching Soul Train 
 And American Bandstand
Where I was in the 70's

Just Right Tonight

the music is just right tonight
listening to cowboys sing the blues
and all the while I'm dancing with him
I remember 'bout dancing with you

as I set down another long neck
and take a cowboy's hand
the steel guitar is whining
lights reflecting on the bandstand

the wood floor is real crowded
and we give it just one more go
as he wraps his arms around me
it's not the cowboy that I know
