In fact, I still have one of his 3rd grade papers that he wrote, gushing about how great the White Album is. I was the proudest father at the open house... <br /><br />He wandered a bit in his early teens, listening to Slip Knot, Mudvayne, etc., but he always came "home" to The Beatles. I guess the Bible was right - "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it" ...;-)<br /><br />Over the last few years we have been on a "Living Legends" quest, trying to see as many 60s and 70s classic artists as we can. Dylan, Clapton, Frampton, Ringo, Dave Mason, Heart, The Guess Who, ELO, Todd Rundgren, yada, yada, yada. I'm thrilled that he appreciates how important these people are/were to music.<br /><br />But to really show you how cool he is, he turned me on to CAL a few years ago. Since then, we've been to almost every CAL Beatles show in Orlando and Lakeland, FL. <br /><br />Keep up the great (and important) work; and thanks for giving me an opportunity to spend quality time with my son. It's just as important now, at 27 as it was when he was younger.MrKite58https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961667377455029092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574227753294266442.post-63656808593018811642012-03-29T17:58:30.829-07:002012-03-29T17:58:30.829-07:00I'll never forget Rumours and Bat Out Of Hell ...I'll never forget Rumours and Bat Out Of Hell and the Lay down Sally, Linda Ronstadt.. my mom drilled that Classic Rock in daily before I was even 9 and truth be told I had a huge Rush, Zeppelin, Who and Doors Phase but at 13 when I heard Run DMC, Beastie Boys and eventually by the mid 80's Easy E and NWA, I got deep into Rap. I mean I loved it. I was fascinated by the scratch'in and rhyming and stealin, saw a few shows and I will say nothing ever came close to seeing the LASERS and DRUM SOLO at a RUSH show in 1987 or a Molly Hatchet and Triumph show at the Buffalo Aud. It was different and I had different friends for each type of music and had to hide the Rap to a certain degree... silly really.. I love music... by the 90's Rap headed down hill except for the Beasties and maybe some Tupac but I drifted back fulltime to my Classic Rock Roots.<br /><br />I click over to Backspin on the satellite radio to remember the Rap I enjoyed and the New Wave Channel occasionally to here "How Soon is Now" and remember High School... but you know Lithium, The Bridge and Classic Vinyl gets more airplay... and in the long run with a dad like you... the kids will head back to what they use to listen to growing up.theconcertaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524165883419661792noreply@blogger.com
