I appreciate your takes on the music and your healthy drinks, but as a 70yo boomer I have to tell you... We were all stoned, drunk & or high while we listened to all of this music. Live was the only way to hear this. At the time you could smoke up on the floor, do 'shrooms, mesc, have your girl carry wine inside her bag, whatever. It was a scene. No one bothered you. It was a one time ever chance to hear the greatest musicians of anyone's lifetimes. None of us appreciated what we experienced. We all thought that this was what musical entertainment would always be. Fantastic music... on the floor of a coliseum with a blanket... rockin' your average (for the time) favorite jams. IMHO the last great concert was the 1991 Monsters of Rock concert in Russia - epic!!!

But you have to dig for them and it seems garbage songs are embraced by today's audiences as if there is no difference between bad writing and good writing -- and singing and performing. In the 1970s we were hit with timeless masterpieces almost every day of the week. I can make a list if you want.

There are quite a few songs that use the name or word Tuesday, such as Tuesday's Gone, Ruby Tuesday by the Rolling Stones, the Beatles lyrics to She Came in Through the Bathroom Window, "Sunday's on the phone to Monday, Tuesday's on the phone to me." There is a band called The Real Tuesday Weld. There is some speculation that Tuesday weld is the inspiration behind most of this, and in the case of the Beatles lyrics it has been verified by at least one account. She was sort of a free-spirited rebellious nymph of an actress--a very good actress--and developed a cult following. Playwright and actor Sam Shepherd called her the Marlon Brando of actresses. In fact, she is my favorite actress, mostly her work in the 1960s up through 1970. I have a close-up shot of her from The Cincinnati Kid (1965) when she was about 22, as my iPhone wallpaper.

In the late 1970s when I was about 30, I lived for a couple years in a college town, in a downstairs efficiency in a four apartment building that had poor sound insulation between the floors. There were four college guys in the efficiency above me, and I could hear them clomping around every time they came down some stairs, and one time they were playing loudly what turned out to be Lynyrd Skynyrd when I was trying to relax. I had never heard of Lynyrd Skynyrd, and it is not my type of music anyway. I went upstairs to ask them if they could turn it down a little, and I mistakenly said that the bad loud music was coming through the floor strongly from above. Now, I couldn't get any real quality sound from that so to me it was bad music, aside from the fact that that I don't like that type of music. However, one of the four guys got very agitated saying it was Lynyrd Skynyrd and it was not bad music, and clenching his fists at his sides. One of his flatmates had to put his hand on his shoulder to calm him down. I said, I didn't mean to insult their music, it just sounds that way coming through the floor, or, something. So I escaped without getting beaten up.
