Adore
by Tony WhitakerSitting on the floor in 64
The Beatles on Sullivan
mom adored
Shook hands with Elvis in 1970
standing at the Gates of Graceland
dad adored
But not until 1973
first concert
Uriah Heep
when the power of music
Shook my Soul
and forever
-I adore
Rock and Roll
11/16/2007 Author's Note: Long live rock, I need it every night,
Long live rock, come on and join the line,
Long live rock, be it dead or alive.

| Posted by Laurie Blum on 11/16/07 at 02:19 PM My sister was forced to take me to my first concert when I was 14 because it was my Birthday. And for my very first concert I saw the MotorCity Madman Ted Nugent! My ears were ringing for 2 weeks! But I was a Rock fan for life! This brings up alot of memories, a great thing for a poem to do Tony! |
