Chuck Berry was great, but a very twisted human being. He is lucky he didn't suffer the same fate as Elvis. If you want to see a terrific documentary rent or buy Hail Hail Rock and Roll - the LONG version. Documents Chuck's sixtieth birthday bash.

I have seen Bobby Vee in person three times and he continues to put on a great show. I have vacationed and owned a lake home in the Detroit Lakes, Minnesota area for many years. Vee got his start performing at the Lake Pavillion in DL.
