I have really tried to wipe the dust from my foggy brain, but it seems to me that rock and roll was everywhere when I was growing up. When I went to friends homes it was on the radio. The afternoons after school. (remember Shindig and American Bandstand in the afternoons?)
My uncle was the one who introduced me to Little Richard and Elvis Presley. when I was a little tike.
The only protests that I remember were the one's blown out of shape with Elvis's appearance on Ed Sullivan.
I just cannot imagine
Dick Clark's American Rap Bandstand
