If you answered yes, you should see the movie "Love and Mercy" and also see the documentary "The Wrecking Crew". They're Great!!!!

Damned right!
We lost something around the 70's but there will never be another era of true rock and roll like the mid fifties. To late 50's, I should say.
One only has to look at the commercials on TV these days. All the music is from my era. In my opinion: Timeless.

Thanks for the heads up!
The wife and I just watched 'Jersey Boys' last weekend...that was a great movie! Don't know how Frankie hit those high notes with loose underwear! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
All I have on my Ipod is 60's and 70's rock and old country...don't even get me started on the music today, especially rap and hip hop! ![[Mad]](mad.gif)

I dunno, I like a bunch of the old Motown stuff. Dave Clark 5, Beatles, Van Halen etc. Rock and roll from the 60's to the 90's with the late 70's and 80's as my favorite.

Love and Mercy is about Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys. It covers Brian's musical genius and his unfortunate mental illness.
The Wrecking Crew is a great must see documentary. It is about a small group of musicians that had a huge impact on the music during this time period. When you see it, you will be very surprised at how much input they had and how strange it is that very few have heard of them. If you see both films, you will notice members of the wrecking crew in Love and Mercy.

60's 70's is the bomb, as far as music is concerned. With the exception of a band here or there, we've been on the downhill since.
My wife loves 80's music. Yuk !!

80's music rules!

80's R&R gave us a break from that horrible disco crap. BTW, disco still sucks, along with the BG's

The 80's weren't all bad. GnR was a refreshing change of pace. AC/DC put out a lot of good stuff in the 80's. Metallica did pretty good. First couple Dio/Sabbath albums were great. Iron Maiden did alright. Motorhead was in their prime and killing it. And of course Ozzy put out Blizzard in 80.
But there was a lot of crap, too. Lot of bands that were good in the 70's lost their way in the 80's. Started making videos first, music second, and it sucked.
I'm all over the map, music wise. Put my iPod on shuffle and you might get Johhny Cash, Rage Against The Machine, Willie Nelson, Notorious BIG, Zubin Mehta, Gov't Mule, Johnny Paycheck, Jimi Hendrix, Lucinda Williams, Waylon Jennings, Black Sabbath, Neil Young, and who knows what. Rock, rap, country, classical, I like it all. Have to admit I'm weak on the 50's rock though. Maybe a little Elvis and Dick Dale. About all I really know. More into the blues from that long ago.

Musically; Im in a vast empty desert. I would hazard I don't listen to music five minutes in a month or two?
The rare times I want to listen to anything, I have an old Bob Seger CD with my old favorites or some George Strait. Other than that, I just don't have that desire to listen to music, rather read or listen to talk radio.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on August 01, 2015, 01:30 PM:
Vic, you know what? I'm a lot like that, most of the time. Occasionally, I'm in the mood, but I'd just as soon listen to talk radio when I'm driving. Around the house, I don't even own a stereo, gave it to some female a few years ago, and it was Nancy's, anyway. I had hardly turned it on, in ten years.
Not really much of a music fan. When driving with somebody, I have to be told to turn on the CD.

You know what ? I'm like Vic & LB. Mostly listen to AM talk radio these days. Sports or Savage or whatever.
Road trips require a Floyd CD or whatever else I can drum up. Sometimes just plain ol' quite is wonderful.
Posted by DAA (Member # 11) on August 02, 2015, 04:45 AM:
I listen to a lot of music. Not every day, but most days at least some and long drives, which I do a lot of, I crank the tunes. On a weekend trip I might listen to ten hours of music. Daily walks of about an hour, I'm about 50/50 music and audio books. I own somewhere north of 500 CD's. Well, actually, at least a hundred of those are just "files". I don't buy physical CD's anymore, just downloads.
Don't go to very many concerts or live music venues anymore, but wish I still did. Used to go them all the time. Absolutely love live music.
Will listen to enough sports and news radio to get "one cycle", but that's usually enough of that for me.
But I like music!

You could say I likes music a little bit. Rick
Posted by Moe (Member # 4494) on August 15, 2015, 11:56 AM:
Same here. I have a wide range in taste in music. My ipod is loaded with classical, rock and roll, country, folk and stuff I'm not sure I could classify.

Git-tars are cool, but my harmonica fits in my pocket.

Rick, I had no idea? Moe, you too.
Both of you are CVCA people, prob. knew that, huh?
Now I know why Rick's rig was never even dusty, much less muddy. (just kidding)

In the Pasadena chapter we had a couple of professionals. My buddy and sometimes hunting partner, Thumper McDowell who played Fender bass and Bill Maloof who played guitar with Trini Lopez. I used to go to some rehearsals with Thumper.
Back in the 60's I played at places like the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach and a few other coffee houses with a buddy named Craig and was in a few bands. Nothing big.
I used to have a bunch of guitars but when I got divorced I had to trim down since I had no place to keep them anymore.
I've loved music since I was a little kid.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on August 15, 2015, 01:09 PM:
I applied for a job, many years ago at Fender...I think they were in San Dimas?
Trini Lopez used to date a woman that lived in the same little court, when we lived in north El Monte right after being discharged from the Army.
Moe, did you ever play at "The 49er", on Valley Blvd. in downtown El Monte? It was quite the tony venue in the 60's

Lot of things you don't know about me Leonard. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Posted by Moe (Member # 4494) on August 15, 2015, 08:29 PM:
Never been there. I played in a couple of bands at POP in the summer of 1963, I think. Battle of the bands stuff. My favorite times were playing folk and bluegrass. Met a lot of nice people back then and had a lot of fun.
I actually got started in San Francisco at a coffee house named The Blue Unicorn on Hayes St about a block from my apartment. There were places you could play a set and get to eat.
I went to West Covina High. Lots of talented people came out of that school. John Rodby and Jennifer Warnes for a couple. Rodby became Dinah Shore's band leader.
Damn, I'm old.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on August 16, 2015, 05:13 AM:
El Monte high school used to regularly beat up on West Covina. lol
There is much to like about San Fransisco, and quite a lot that's not so good. Particularly the Liberal politics. People don't realize that where I live, what's called the West End, (of San Bernardino County) and the Inland Empire, in general, is just as conservative as Orange County.

Before I moved to West Covina my family lived in temporary military quarters in the same wash that the CVCA had it's meetings in in Pasadena. We'd just gotten back to the states from living in Taiwan for a couple of years. I only went to West Covina for the last half of my senior year. Then I went up to Mt Sac for a while.
I had family in the Bay Area including some in SF. I had planned to attend USF but got caught up in working for a living which wasn't turning out so pretty good so I moved back to the LA area and would up living in Whittier and working for GTE.
I met a CVCA guy named Art Parra and he got me into calling and I joined the CVCA.
I've been a conservative all of my life yet didn't even know what the term meant when I was young. SF was an eye opener. Lots to like about the city but lots to dislike, too. My dad has a monument at The Presidio Millitary Cemetery and I like to go visit.
I call San Francisco Soddom By the Bay. It's changed a lot since the 50's and none of it for the good. We enjoy going to Grotto #9 and to the House of Prime Rib but our old haunts in Chinatown are gone. You can get a great Chinese meal there, still, if you know where to go. Having lived in China for a couple of years I like good Chinese food.
BTW....my sport was basketball and I did play at West Covina. As I recall the only team that could beat us was Covina High. Just bad attitude from the players at W Covina, IMO. But remember.....there's an age difference between us. I graduated in '62.

I love music , from the Brandenburg Concertos to Bonnie Rait I love music. p.s. rap/hip hop is organized noise not music , most pop is crap as well.
