Rock And Roll Is Here To Stay

b'I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room...which is good. Because I got an email a little while ago, with some news that would have knocked me down if I weren\'t already sitting. When I finished reading it, I called my Lady Wonder Wench, and told her about it. She said something that sounded like, "Oh my God...wow"...while holding her cell phone at arms length as she got to the word "Wow". I only think that\'s what she said, because the last word came out on a note that was so high, and loud, that I couldn\'t really hear it, but Golden Retrievers for three blocks around fled in terror, and windows and eyeglasses cracked all over the zip code. It was great news, but it really screwed up my day, because I completely forgot about everything else...including the fact that I was supposed to be interviewed on a radio program about my books and CDs...and I just forgot about it...which was not only un-professional, it was simply inconsiderate and impolite. And I\'m a Louie-Louie Generation guy. Louie-Louie Generation guys have manners.'
