Oh! Oh! Oh!

Sounds great, but it cannot possibly surpass Spinal Tap. Nigel Tufnel remains the most classically hilarious music icon of all time, and there's SOOOOO much to make fun of in heavy metal/progressive rock.

Now that early, early 60's folk stuff (Kingston Trio, Weavers, and all those types of groups...guys in geeky suits, playing guitar & banjo)...well, you know I was really tired of that routine by the time 1963 rolled around, if not sooner. I was rescued by Joan Baez, Buffy Sainte-Marie, and Bob Dylan and carried breathlessly into the glorious realms of NEWLY written songs by totally original young people who actually had something to say about modern life, rather than just rhapsodizing over Uncle Charlie's bentwood rocker for the 800th time. Yeah! We were walking through the Gates of Eden into a social revolution.

Thank Dylan, above all others, for that.

I did like Ian & Sylvia a lot, and I remain quite respectful of the Weavers.

I look forward a lot to seeing this movie.
