http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDfH_J4MAUQThe Beach Boys were awesome. I've been to a lot of great concerts, but one of my all-time favorites was when The Beach Boys and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young were paired together at a concert. What a show!!! Speaking of Young, as in Neil Young, here is one my favorites by him...speaking of politics...

I was still in high school. We saw them at Milwaukee County Stadium with over 50,000 fans in attendance if memory serves me correct. I checked You Tube for some video of that tour, but haven't had any luck up to this point. Even without video, the memories are awesome. How many concerts have The Beach Boys as the warm up band?

Bob...Andries...KenNeil Young without a doubt influenced me in my life and writing, and the Beach Boys were always seemingly playing the background. I actually got to meet them minus Brian, and Neil and many others not as a musician myself, but as a limo/van driver for most of the major acts that came into Austin during the mid 80's. Most of them were pretty cool, and I never would tell them that I played. Neil and his band were pretty nuts one night after playing Farm Aid. The worst group I ever drove was Chicago. I wish I could go back, and drive them to the out skirts of town, and leave them.Well Bob, maybe one day I will record the song about the day in the Dallas, but I will probably have to start drinking heavy again for the young man's courage. It has a lot of rhyming cliches stuff that works on a certain level.. a little taste of itdown in dallassomething happened down in dallassaw it all in black and whitesomething happened down in dallassomebody turned down the lightlimo driver, sixth floor sniperand somebody is out to lunchonly the grassy knollknows for surei got me a huncha b c d e howard hunt (ugh)jfk, mlk, rfk and malcolm xmakes you wonder what we accept (that is enough)

Ken (Mr. Wizard), Andries (cool poster) and Kirk...Nice work there Gents! Kirk, I like the lyrics. The stories of driving the various acts around were cool as well. I'd like to hear some music with it as well sometime. But before you do that, I have some advice for you...

If I was to select a type of melody to go with your lyrics Kirk, I would go with something similar to what Neil did in this classic tune...
