@orpheus10 : Two more songs with a story. When this movie was released in 1956, I had a little kid's job as ticket collector at the town's movie theater. This movie, 'Rock Around The Clock', was shown on a Saturday night, a special midnight showing, and ADULTS ONLY. :) Such was the mind set in Mississippi. And I lived in the most progressive part of the state!! Of course as an employee I saw it. I thought for a while it would be the real deal. My imagination was running wild. I was gonna see the good stuff. You can imagine my disappointment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwgnL7V1ugo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eJOJhwgluE Cheers |
rok, would that have been in or near Oxford? I had a good friend who was on the faculty of Ol' Miss there for several years and I visited once. I liked the town. I thought it was one of the best in the South. But I can't imagine how you would have been disappointed in a "scrubbed up" Hollywood version of rock and roll . . . ;^) The Platters caused me to search for a link to the parody of their "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" but I couldn't find it. It came out after they were busted for drugs. |
