How about a song?
I'm in the mood for something by David Bowie.
This cut - Sorrow - was from the Pin Ups album which was Bowie covering songs by others. I became a fan of his as soon as I heard this song, way, way back in the day.
And I am straight, damn it!
I loved the opening line: "With your long blond hair and your eyes of blue." And a couple of years later I met Mrs. Right who had-you guessed it-long blond hair and blue eyes.
I played the song for her shortly after we married...and she had a problem with the second line: "The only thing I ever got from you---was sorrow."
That's where the similarities ended.

Oh, what the hell...here's a cut from the same album called See Emily Play. You don't hear that anymore. (Here's the original by Pink Floyd.)
***************
One more...Where Have All The Good Times Gone. (Here's the original by The Kinks)
****************
Damn...there was such good music back in the long ago.

LOVE The Kinks!
LOVE the Yardbirds, too.
You're right about the music back "in the day." Good times.
I agree with you, Pat. I'm 57, so I was really there at the beginning of rock. Frankly, given much of the popular music over past 4-10 years, I sometimes think I'm at the end of rock. But then again, I'm an old fart.
