The 1960s playlists are weird, no doubt. I feel like I am Forrest Gump or something.
But now a word about Sha-Na-Na ...
To me, Sha-Na-Na has always been about their stupid TV variety show and their work in the motion picture Grease. When I was ten, I was not hip to the 50s revival. Not at all. Really, Bowzer makes me want to hide.
It wasn't until I revisited the movie Woodstock a few years ago that I even realized they were on the bill ... and their performance of At The Hop really turned my head around. I mean, look at them. That's not a 50s nostalgia act -- they're practically a punk band.
Jon Bauman, my apologies. Grease for Peace.
