styx- i am the walrus....

[gastorgrab]

I'm really straining my memory here. This song, not particularly good, is one that got glued in my memory at a very early age.

Was i secretly raised by Hippies?

Here's some of the local talent where i'm from.



That's a young Ted Nugent on Guitar. He's been kicked out of multiple high schools in this area (riding his motor-bike down the hallway), but he finally found something that worked:





A guy i used to work with, went to high school with a couple of these fellas:




Our foreman used to play with Bob Seager, before he became famous. He could play instruments that I'd never heard of.

[gastorgrab]

Well damn!........i wasn't aware of some of this;



Frijid Pink / Career
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frijid_Pink#Career

Frijid Pink was formed from members of the Detroit Vibrations. Stevers and Harris were joined by Thompson, who convinced Vibrations' manager Clyde Stevers (Richard's father) he was a better candidate for a guitarist, and Beaudry, who later took the stage name Kelly Green. They spent their first two years touring throughout the Southeast Michigan/Detroit area and eventually signed with Parrot Records. Their first two singles, "Tell Me Why" and "Drivin' Blues" (both released in 1969) failed to attract much attention, but their third 1969 effort, a distorted guitar-driven rendering of "House of the Rising Sun", reached the Top Ten on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in winter 1970. This disc sold over one million copies, thereby receiving a gold disc.[1] The song was literally a "filler", using up time at the end of a recording session. A big hit in the U.S. (raised up at #7 in February 1970), it became an even bigger hit in Europe. The band was so popular in their native Detroit area that a fledgling Led Zeppelin (who were just then getting started from the remnants of The Yardbirds) opened for them at Detroit's Grande Ballroom. Frijid Pink often shared billing with the likes of the MC5, The Stooges, The Amboy Dukes and others.

Come to think of it......this area is sort of a hot-bed of talent.


An early example:





The place i used to work was located in Inkster, Michigan. It had it's own 'Claim-to-Fame'.





Which was of course, covered by many other artists:

When a local boy was looking for a source of new songs back in 1963, a tip led him to London:

I think that Smokey Robinson may have written half of all MoTown songs.

The guy was a frickin' genius!
