SAMI~~~ THIS History Lesson is for you
AND IT IS VERY RELEVANT... ROCK & ROLL- wise..............I promose you! Really, I had BORING History teachers except a a very few that helped me come to see History as a Living Thing............
maybe it helps that I was a young political/issues advocate/volunteer- so in order to know what was happening I had to know at least SOME things for some years back anyway.


ANd awww shucks :wink: :hug: s to Jobob ande VP who so kindly liked my "lesson"


the starting point is....... some sociologists have thoerized............that IF JFK HADN"T been assasinated that the susequent pall over america that filtered fown to pre-teens and teens from the MAJORITY of Amercans who were in deep grief over it.......... that The Beatles may never had "caught fire" as this grieef of younger people was waiting to be swung back the other way ..... in some joyous or even intense manner..and what's stronger than sex & R&R ....not much! :lol:

to con't my analogy..............



To bring it through the decades IF....................

..........The Beatles had NOT HAD such an impact on the USA esp their first American Hit album DID NOT have much of the bits of R&B that The Beat's put in earlier singles that went NOWHERE in the USA {before "Meet The Beatles" big USA debut }, THEN British Bands with a harder R&B sound { The Stones, Yardbirds <w Led Zep fore runners> Cream etc} may have had a harder & longer time breaking in the America market....IF EVEN ever.

HENDRIX who had to go to England and get popular there beofre he came back to the States to finally get more notice.
Maybe no JH in a big way here in USA.

The Who could of been a 50/50 % b/c thwey had Pop & Beach Boy { Keith Moon's favs} aspects as well as R&R influneces -- Shaking All Over, Summertime Blues etc}.
No Big Who USA fandom...maybe no Rock Opera....... giving a bigger rise for the Theme Album........even if Sgt Pepper {loosely themed}came first.

Hippiedom might have taken place anyway....... but with out the British Invasion {and R&B Influence} in hitting the charts and exert a REACTION BACK....bands like The Byrds, Jefferson Airplane , Janis Joplin etc ma ynot have been as big nTHUS the Woodstock may have had a altered "sound track to 'our' Generation" effect. may have been less strong.

Some of these AMERICAN BANDS ALSO helped to Fuel The Anti-War movement............. couldbeen wweaker w/o these bands and others.

I'm not doscounting Folk Music here bUT part of it did Hybridize into FOLK-ROCK back in the post Beatles Invasion. Which became a stronger springboard for Protest {white} Movement. African-Americans had had their OWN soundtrack of songs to fuel their struggles in which we absorbed it LATER.

dARING TO TAKE THIS EVEN further.........:lol:
to show you how wide & deep these riples of chaNGE could reach..............

AS more BRITiSH BANDS ARIVVED because the portal The Beatles built- we eventually get to.........

Yes, ELP, etc.................

Bands that SOME FOLKS EVENTUALLY said became too over-bloated and lost the SPIRIT of R&R................

which fueled the Bands from CBGB's to strip R&R back down {some more than otherrs}.....get popular enough to go to England AND influence.........sEX pISTOLS, tHE cLASH..............AND

Can you gueeeessssssssssss.... I know you can............:yes:









........U2................
