Rock and Roll 101

 


When I listened to Linda Ronstadt's version of "That'll Be The Day" I used to think, "Who's Charlie Stark?"

But there is no Charlie Stark -- the lyrics say,

When Cupid shot his dart

He shot it at your heart...


That's where I would get sidetracked.


Both versions of that song are very rhythmic and bouncy--I like 'em all...Buddy Holly's unmistakable vocals sound so pure--like a midnight dream.


        Linda Ronstadt's band is in the '70s rock groove -- their track sounds like you're at a rock-and-roll lounge --

it's loungier, and scroungier.
