Koan...It was similar when I was growing up--Beatles were there and in the background, played at parties when people wanted to dance..Truth is, as I've mentioned before, my older brother was my music mentor. He was listening to Dylan(his life-long hero), Jackson Browne, Neil Young at home, while reading Kafka, Nietzche--- while the other kids in our ethnically/racially mixed Bronx environment were listening to radio pop hits...After reading your post, I recalled how we had a Jackson Five vs. The Osmonds thing. It could get tense. It was a time when girls taught each other how to dance in between playing double dutch..........the "cool" girls wanted to play the Jackson 5 while those considered "straight, wholesome and nerdy" liked the Osmonds.........what pressure on 10, 12, 14 year-olds who just wanted to have fun!

Happy Father's Day to you and everyone here. Now go fire up the grill ;-)

It wasn't the Beatles that were king in my group, it was Bob Dylan.
