And he broke all their conventions. 😅 I lost a little respect for my mom, who was in high school when Elvis was popular, when she told me she wrote a letter to her radio that was read on air asking to have his offensive, vulgar noise removed from the air. She didn’t vote Trump tho.
My parents were that age then as well, tho I don't know how they felt about Elvis at the time. I DO KNOW that pretty much everything cool in the 60's and 70's when they were in their 20's and 30's went right TF over their heads. I remember car rides in the 70's with easy listening garbage, LOL.
Oh my gawd. The Eagles, Neil Diamond; my mom also loved classical, old musicals, big band era music, and Catholic Michael Talbot songs. The actual FUCK, mom?!
Neil Diamond was born in my home town of New York City. Only Don Henley of the Eagles was from Texas - and he left! The others were from Los Angeles, and Detroit.
Oh no - I wasn’t referencing where anyone came from. Just the ‘70’s music I heard on repeat on long car drives. 😅 But fair enough!
Ah, I see. Alright. 🙋🏻♀️
At some point in the late 70's mom got into Steely Dan. I hated them immediately because she liked them (learned to appreciate them later). The irony is that she hyper-analyzed every rock song lyric I listened to but every other Dan song was about drugs, drinking and fucking, hahaha.
