Too Old To Rock N Roll- Too Young To Die

Useless Trivia and Mindless Rants: Woodstock + 40 Years; Crosby, Stills and Nash (and Neil Young)

Greetings!

A couple of days ago I was watching CBS SUNDAY MORNING, and the correspondent ( who's name I don't remember at this time) was lamenting the demise of the record store. I thought about that for quite awhile, and realized that there is a generation or two who now download music rather than having the thrill of ripping off the cellophane on an LP, listening to it from a turntable, bumps and pops and all, and spending the evening relaxing and reading the liner notes, and appreciating the artwork that was a fixture of the so called "Classic Rock" Era. It was a time when the best seats at concerts didn't cost three figures, and when music just seemed to MATTER more.
It spawned the idea of archiving the video work of some of rock's greatest artists, and adding commentary on how I remember the artist and about the music. This is in no way designed to be a definitive collection, and I'll never claim to be a critic or an expert. Here, I just want to present some of the greats under one roof, so to speak.
What is CLASSIC ROCK? Well, if you look back at the music and the artist with a smile and warm thoughts, its probably classic.
If you don't have to think about "is it or isn't it", it probably is.
So welcome to the soundtrack of my early life.....enjoy!
