The Kinks "Lola."

Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Benefit.

[@reb1050]

I was 20 when this song came out. Now, at 72 (73 in 3 days), I still consider the music of the 60's and 70's as being the best and most innovative music ever. And it was groups like the Kinks, the Beatles, the Stones, CCR, Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, the Doors, Three Dog Night, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, the Who, Steppinwolf, and so many others that made it all possible.

@James Hodson Surely you jest

[@grazzer1673]

​@@hendude127 If you're too young or too stupid to recognize the innocence that Stephane is describing, then you're truly one of the biggest morons to ever step into KZbin. The 60's through 80's were an amazingly magical time and there was a pronounced innocence in the air that has absolutely zero to do with today's society. Probably the same prior to the 60s, but I was born then. Ever since the politically correct libtards infiltrated our universities and political instutions, and started invoking this "Multi-Culti" love fest with everything non-white, non-Christian, non-Western, non-rightious, then western world has gone to shit, just like the rest of the world already was. First of all, this song was written in 1970 - that's 52 and 25 years after the ends of WWI and WWII about which you drunkely speak. So what the hell are you even babbling about??? BTW - smoking is still seen as acceptable in many parts of the world. What planet do you come from? And even if this song had been written during the two world wars, as you absurdly insinuated, does that mean automatically that everything is superior now? Most of the world wasn't even fighting the wars. How many Nicaraguans did you spot at the eastern front, you dingbat?

My friend couldn't go so he gave me his tickets. I called a girl I barely knew in one of the Economics classes I was taking in college. The tickets were in the orchestra pit, literally one foot from the stage! Best damn tickets I have ever had to any live rock show in my life.

She marched over and I saw them negotiating and then she got on the stage and belted out: Well, it’s good to be here in Philadelphia!” And continued to belt out the song with the little green man in my head. Omg she slayed them! I looked at the crowd and every few seconds another person would recognize the song and tell their group, and the crowd went wild!
