"I've had a long-standing theory about American pop music, which goes like this: there were two years that had a wide open, anything-can-happen aspect to them, musically speaking--1957 and 1966. Regarding 1957—first, rock and roll hit the mainstream all across the country in 1956, and by 1957 it was a vast, new, and ubiquitous force. Nobody had any idea just what it was, what it meant, or what to do about it, besides jump on the bandwagon or damn it as a force for evil. As a form, no one knew what the limits, if any, were. When the mighty spirit of "I don't know" manifests, weird and wild possibilities tend to run rampant. I often think, what if 1957 could have gone on and on, growing in said weirdness and wildness? What stopped it, of course, was 1958—specifically, Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis being arrested, Elvis getting drafted, Little Richard renouncing rock and roll for the church, The Buddy Holly/Richie Valens/Big Bopper plane crash, along with the record industry's introduction of a deluge of rockin' teen twerps, most of who were named Bobby. One of the few alpha rockers to escape said carnage was Ray Charles, who even rock haters had to acknowledge as a genius. The label "soul music" was originally coined so the music of Ray Charles could have another label besides rock and roll, which to most people back then meant trash. "

"I was told these guys were from Newark and they were spanish...Bila is a girls name also...The dance they did to this record back in '64 at Jerry Blavat's Chez Vous ballroom on friday night's was one of the scariest,most,primitive rituals I've ever witnessed...It only occurred on the shadowy,underlit section they called the 'jive' side where only the greasers hung out...They were the long leather jacketed kids,some with the belts swingin' in the back,well oiled,pumped up pompadours,sharkskin slacks and Hi-boy collar shirts or Italian knits for the guys (coyotes) and huge bee-hive haired chicks (amazons) with white lipstick and fingernails,usually smellin' like Tabu perfume and Aqua-net,all wearin' pointed toe shoes/boots and struttin' with real serious gum poppin' attitude...You did not mess with nobody on the 'jive side'...They were fuckin' knuckle draggin' neanderthals and they danced their most wildest when"Bila" blasted thru those big old Electrovoice loudspeaker horns that hung on the woodn columns throughout the Rink...It sounded so LOUD and DANGEROUS!!!...The dancers would shake their jackets off,dropping them to the floor as if commanded by this wild hypnotic, jungle beat...Girls would fall to their knees while their partners would stand/slop above them and draw this imaginary sword and start swinging violently,finally stabbing her over and over until she finally crossed her arms over her chest and slowly fell back onto the floor where she lay gently writhing with her hands out as if to shield herself from the deadly blows...Finally her guy would take his two fingers,slide them down the imaginary blade as if to be cleaning off the blood, and then lick his fingers,smiling as he danced away into the dark,that primitive,pounding beat pumping thru our veins!!!...Jawdroppin' shit for a couple of 14 year old kids and to this day my friend Lou and I still agree that this was the Wildest,Cooles,most exciting moments of or entire lives....I still get chills thinking about it...What a monster,fuckin' record!...Yeah,man...The power of Rock and Roll!"
