78. There was another classic Lawrence Welk clip.

Jan 2015

I think Youtube took it down.

Welk was trying to be hip.

They had Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground on but didn't show them on camera.
People were bouncing around trying to waltz but really not knowing where the beat was.
The band was singing "Sister Ray" so the dancers were hearing about the joys of heroin addiction.

"I am searching for my mainline, I am searching for my mainline"

Just as clueless as that "modern spiritual"!!!

My grandmother who was born in 1898 walked through the den on Saturday morning when the granddaughters were trying to tune in American Bandstand on the old black and white TV. We had to have tall antennas back then, because we were about 75 miles from the nearest TV station. This would have been in the 60s after the British Invasion of 1964.

She walked through and said "Y'all shouldn't be listening to that NIGRA MUSIC".

We all laughed our butts off behind her back as she walked through. She just didn't know.
I should have said something like, "Yeah that Dick Clark, he is just SO BLACK".
