WE WERE YOUNG, WE WERE STARDUST

I was still in elementary school in the 60's just starting grade 8 in 1969 but I have always loved the rock music from that time. Not the the beach music (sorry Shellebelle) but the kind of music Eric Burdon & the Animals put out. The Kinks, The Doors, The Seeds, The Byrds, Janis Joplin, Grace Slick to name a few.
I remember sitting on a big blanket in the sun, getting my tan on,  listening to a little tinny sounding transistor radio and saying "I love this song" to almost every song that came on. I remember dancing like the go-go dancers with their little white boots. 
Into the 70's I still liked the rockers. Led Zeppelin,  Lynyrd  Skynyrd, Deep Purple, but also bands like the Moody Blues, Creedence Clearwater, and a huge Canadian band The Guess Who.
What brings me to this post is the passing of actor Dennis Hopper. I went to see the movie Easy Rider after it came out in 1969. (remember going Wendy??) I was so in love with Peter Fonda.

Wendy and I went into downtown Vancouver to the hippie area of Gastown and we bought posters from the movie. They were the only posters I ever put up on my walls other than playbills from rock bands that came through.
I still have my Woodstock album but have given away all my other vinyl. Everything is on cd now and I have a huge playlist on my Ipod. We have satellite radio at home and of course I listen to the 60's all the time,  usually pretty loud. 
As if that isn't enough of the music I also have a DJ playlist on BLIP.FM. My DJ name is lorenglish and you can go there and listen to my whole list of my music picks, many with old old film clips of the performers on shows like Ed Sullivan or Hullabaloo.
Now go put on your go-go boots, your mini skirt, black eyeliner and white lipstick and get dancing.
