Classic Rock Revisited

We baby boomers are a stubborn lot. We grew up listening to mom and dad's weird, old music (which many of us have grown to appreciate later in our own lives). We found our own music, and it was christened rock and roll.

We may sound like snobs to the kids who don't remember the 70's, but we're picky about what constitutes great music. Likely as not, we would rather go to see rock shows put on by artists who are also grandparents.

But we ARE passionate about what has become known as classic rock. And that's what today's FamilyFirst pick is all about: Classic Rock Revisited. Their mission is keeping that glorious rock and roll by the likes of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Stones, and all the others who jammed the radio airwaves with great stuff when the U.S. was being led by folks named Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan.

There are lots of interviews with artists. Remember Thin Lizzy? At presstime, the front page featured an interview with guitarist and fellow founder Eric Bell. It's a great read as he reminisces about how he and the late Phil Lynott got together and started playing songs that got them excited. The rest was history.

Also, check out the reviews of classic bands' concerts.

When some of these bands now consist of one or two originals and the rest replacement players, an objective review is a vital thing to have.

So here's to the greatest musical genre out there, classic rock. Enjoy today's FamilyFirst site.
