old people often hated rock and roll music, and generally, loud music. Nowadays, all the classic rock n rollers are old people if not dead already. Sound funny?
In the summer of 1976, I put on a pop/rock station while riding along in my grandfather's 1961 Chevrolet. Peter Frampton was singing 'Show Me The Way". My 68-year-old grandfather called it loudmouth hippie music. I was 12 at the time and Peter was age 26. He then changed the radio to a station that played Lawrence Welk type stuff and told me to listen to those beautiful strings and the pretty piano.
My grandfather, however, did like to watch Helen Reddy, Donny and Marie and John Denver on Midnight Special and other television shows in the '70's.
Peter Frampton is now 72, alive and well, and my grandfather (age 68 in 1976) called his stuff hippie music then. The irony of it all.
