Well, young folk, there was a time, y'know, when bands would put their band name on the kick drum head, so the audience could see the name of the band, y'see? Why, best as I can recall, the
The Yardbirds did it, and
The Zombies, too. And
The Hollies. Oh, and did I mention
The Yardbirds? Well, my memory's not what it used to be... oh, and there was those boys from Liverpool, used to sing about
Kansas Cty so well, why, you'd think they'd actually
been there! Now, there was this one band called themselves the
Spencer Davis Group, but I never could figure out why, cause it was that little Winwood fella just outta knee pants who was the star of
that show!
So, is the rock n' roll today any better than what we listened to back then? Well, I dunno,
you really got me, there... But there
was that band that sang about
my generation... now,
who was that? Oh, well, this'll be
the last time I bother you youngsters with all this old stuff. Anyway, truth be told, some of it was just
godawful. Why, you'd rather be struck by
lightning than to listen to that crap. Well, anyway, thanks for helping me with the groceries! Y'all run along and listen to your
Animal Collective, I'll just stay here and listen to my
Animals.
