Talk about an eternal artist. You hear Chuck Berry everywhere. He made a whole bunch of building blocks that you can't work without if you claim to play rock and roll.

Got to see ELO play 'Roll Over, Beethoven' where the double bass was played like a guitar and a single green laser squiggled on the ceiling. Cutting edge rock theatrics in the 70's.

Congrats on another great Marathon, Joe B!
  12:53pm Angela:

Four times today the player online has just stopped playing. I don't think it's the sound cutting out, it's like the player pauses after a time. When I push play the set starts over from the beginning, and I instead have to closer the player and reopen it from the website.
  12:54pm Cooh John:

Thanks Joe. It was a great experience. On par with the time I got to sing Johnny B. Goode with Eddie Angel backing me.

@Mark in Toronto: I'm no Canadian lawyer, but I believe there's a hate-crimes statute that adds 10 days to any maple-syrup-related infraction.

Listening to my older sisters' records growing up, I think I played The Beatles 'Rock and Roll Music' (not this version) and The Faces 'Memphis' more than anything else. I am also pretty sure that it was a long time before I knew they were a) covers and b) written by the same person!
Avatar 1:40pm Scott C. from New Hartford:

I always love hearing "All Aboard", in which Chuck hops a train that first winds its way through my neck of the woods "...Albany and on we go/Utica, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo"

Part of the genius of "Nadine" is revealed in the last verse, when Chuck explains why she's worth all the tsuris.

Skyhooks did a great version of Let It Rock. Australian bands loved their Chuck Berry. I swear in 1975-76 every band had to release a cover of his.

they LOVE Eurovision, too. Now they are officially part of the song contest!

I got turned on to Monty Python and Roger Glover's the Butterfly Ball when I was down there, too.

Billy Joel, Blondie, and Little Feat all came to Australia and people adored them. After that, they all went back to the States and started doing very well.

About Gaga, I don't know. Probably doing quite well down there.

  3:01pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

Saw Chuck in '88 at the Poughkeepsie civic center--he was backed by local dweebs improbably named Fat Max and the Bluescasters. It made no difference to us, it was like going to Mt. Olympus or getting an audience with the Pope. At the concert's end, Chuck invited the audience onstage to dance during "Johnny B. Goode". Pure shit show. As Chuck was duckwalking, a 13 year old kid touched Chuck's arm--Chuck took three fingers and poked the kid in the sternum--hard!--and pushed the acolyte about 3 feet back. I turned to my buddy and said, "rule #1: you don't touch Chuck." In all ways, nobody does, even now.
