Rock Stars I've Known and Loved

Ok, so I never really knew any rock stars! The closest I've ever come to that is having a boy friend in college who played in a rock band and sitting next to a minor league British band from the 60's in Heathrow Airport last summer on our way to Rome. But, in my mind, I've known lots! lol One of my students went on to play in a fairly well know blues group called Murder City Blues.

I always use to say that my claim to fame was the fact that I had front row seats at the stadium in St. Louis for the Beatles tour. Well, my boy friend of the month got them and asked me to go. I wasn't even a Beatles fan and had found it really tacky how some of my classmates seemed to go nuts over the mention of any of their names. And here we are, eons later and Paul is in his 60s and I'm not far behind.

As a child of the 60s, I went to my fair share of concerts, many without my parents knowledge (ah, only a minor 'bad girl'!). I saw the Supremes, The Mamas and the Papas (who gave some friends of mine who were sitting behind them at a restaurant after the concert some booze...one of my pals still had one of the bottles (autographed) at our ten year reunion I heard). I saw dozens of minor leaguers like Red Rubber Ball, Johnny Rivers, The Kingston Trio (after their prime time), but I never did see The King.

We have a friend who is a big Elvis freak. If you are reading this Steve, this one's for you!
