Spent a few hours honouring the classic rock geniuses for their contributions to civilisation this week.
YouTube is a beautiful thing. You can watch rock and roll shows that happened before you were born!
Wanna see Jerry Lee pound that piano in '63?
You can find a live concert on YouTube.
One of the all-time rock and roll standards has to be Hand Jive.
Search that one on YouTube and you'll find everybody from Otis to George Thorogood and Eric Clapton putting their stamp on it... doing that old hand jive.
That's all fine and dandy, but as far as I'm concerned, things went to the next level once and for all when Way-Out Willy gave them that treat. Yup, he did that hand jive with his feet.
And that, my friends, is a pretty damned good summation of the last seventy-five years of pop culture!
