Well Don, Let's say that I may not be speaking for you and I certainly am not such an ass to presume that I would be speaking for an entire generation, but thanks for pointing that out. Don if you were there who do you think was leading the charge?? I never said that the Beatles were the only musical influence, just the biggest. I do not know how anyone, can disagree with their musical and cultural influences during the 60's, even the folks that do not like them. There sure are a lot of books written about them, more than any artist I know, except maybe Elvis. I'm outta here. Don't want to offend anyone else.
