I wouldn't say I really paid attention to them until my freshman year in college, which was 1985. I was pretty pop-oriented in my music tastes until then. Then the floodgates opened and I delved into classic rock with a vengeance.Dave Whitakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469458199584765423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443292966174170672.post-51441620952685470502011-07-19T18:29:56.811-05:002011-07-19T18:29:56.811-05:00John Bonham died on my birthday. I had only disco...John Bonham died on my birthday. I had only discovered Led Zep a year before, when "Fool In the Rain" entered the Top 40. (Classic rock bands didn't get much airplay on the Top 40 radio station in my hometown). Though I never became a big fan of Zep, Bonham's passing and Zep's disbanding the following December made it seem like an era I'd only just discovered was coming to an end. (To cap it off, John Lennon was murdered the same month.)<br /><br />July 7, by the way, is also Ringo Starr's birthday. Coincidence or conspiracy? You decide. :)Greg Gildersleevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04547173803003210524noreply@blogger.com
