As I said at first we all have different tastes.

The Isle of Wight Festival holds an important spot in the history of the best concerts and musical events. I would love to have been there to see that assortment of acts and I enjoy hearing you describe it. I have been fortunate to see some of those bands and many others but I will always regret not being able to go to Woodstock. I did attend one three day concert in Texas back in 1971 so I got the feel of it but nothing could replace the significance of The Isle of Wight Festival or Woodstock. These memories of yours should be passed down. When your grandchildren are teenagers they will love to hear what their Grandpa did!

Just because you think it's ...Now, now, Tasker. Just because you think it's "crap" doesn't mean you need to shit on it. There was a time Clapton was thought of as God. And don't mention Bob Dylan to me. His music is fine, can't bear the adulation of the man.<br /><br />There is a lot of music I don't get. Sometimes for totally irrational reasons. By way of fluffy example: I can't stand Madonna. I mean the person or, rather, her public persona. Which is why I never listen to her music. Give me Tina Turner instead.<br /><br />Come to think of it: What do you think of Billy Gibbons, him of "Sharp Dressed Man" and ZZ Top fame? He does a fine line in sauces too.<br /><br />UUrsulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722046288685936851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-78760779698688961142020-08-30T20:06:37.579+01:002020-08-30T20:06:37.579+01:00Great memories.
