on Feb. 22, 1967, a fund raiser for CAFF (Community Action for Fact and Freedom) was held at the Valley Music Theater in Woodland Hills, CA featuring The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Peter Paul & Mary, and The Doors at the bottom of the bill (and using the Springfield's drums and amplifiers). CAFF was formed after the Nov. 12, 1966 Sunset Strip riot to investigate police reactions that night. The concert was organized by Springfield Managers Charlie Greene and Brian Stone, Byrds Managers Jim Dickson and Ed Tickner, Whisky-a Go Go owner Elmer Valentine, publicist Derek Taylor and several prominent Sunset Strip business owners. reviewing the concert in the LA Times the next day, Digby Diehl stated, "The most animated portion of the evening was created by The Buffalo Springfield group which roared through tunes to the cheering delight of their fans." during their set the Springfield were joined onstage by Dillards banjo player extraordinaire Douglas Dillard who added banjo to "Go And Say Goodbye" and a new song by Stephen Stills entitled "Ballad Of The Bluebird". bass player Jim Fielder made his debut appearance with the Springfield, whose song about the event, "For What It's Worth" was rising up the record charts, that night. Hugh Masekela joined The Byrds during their set for "So You Want To Be A Rock & Roll Star".

The Dead Boys with Glen Buxton - I’m Eighteen live @ CBGB’s May 7 1978
"in 1979 David Bowie, Iggy Pop and I moved from working in the studio to their apartment in Berlin, once inside we smoked weed, David was sitting on the couch in front of the TV that was playing old silent movies. I watched the movie because David watched the movie and I wanted to be like him. David was reading a book on and looked up at the television and watched the film, back and forth, back and forth, and so did I. Then Iggy arrived, announcing that he had LSD with him... ” - Ivan Kral

I always thought her name was Sylvia Robinson. Mickey Baker was a hell of a blues guitarist. "Love is Strange" is a syrupy calypso tune, but his solo was all blues.
In the truest sense of the spirit of Rock and Roll, if they piss off "The Man", the Proletariat, and the parents, then they are Rock and Roll. That was the reason I hated disco...because people's parents liked it. Gotta be something wrong with music that the parents like.
heard that as well, thx for mentioning it. almost everything good was based in the Blues, and then it wasn't. that soul is missed.
