Buffalo Springfield released their anthem, “For What It’s Worth,” forty-five years ago today.

Love this video of them playing it on the Smothers Brothers.

Nice hat, Stephen

George Harrison’s lovely song, “My Sweet Lord,” from the Desert Island Disc All Things Must Pass, was released in the UK 40 years ago today.

Synchronistically, that was the same day John Lennon wrote and recorded “Instant Karma.”

Enjoy the video and have fun!

John Lennon wrote AND recorded “Instant Karma” 42 years ago today, and it was released ten days later.

John said he “wrote it for breakfast, recorded it for lunch, and we’re putting it out for dinner.”

I say “totally groovy.”

Enjoy the live video and have fun!

Credence Clearwater Revival released one of their classic songs, “Proud Mary,” 43 year ago today. Could it really have been that long ago?

Here they are playing it way back when…

“Going to a 7-Eleven in the middle of the night and hearing the clerk whistling one of my songs–that’s my idea of a great cover version.”~Warren Zevon

“I’ve been a walking advertisement for excess and chaos most of my life, so it’s about time I tried to do something for the other side.”~Warren Zevon

That one hits pretty close to home.

Since it would have been his 64th birthday, I’ve been listening to lots of Warren Zevon today. “Keep Me in Your Heart” is hauntingly beautiful.

Love the line “I’m tied to you like the buttons on your blouse.”

“I am the Nureyev of rock ‘n’ roll.”~Meat Loaf

I love Mr. Loaf, but what was he on when he said that?????

I thought this video was hilarious and hope you do, too.

The Band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame eighteen years ago today.

Here they are delivering a rockin’ version of “The Shape I’m In.”
