BBHQ Boomer-in-Charge Hershel Chicowitz always has something to say, offering a boomer perspective on current events:
In This Week with the Chicowitz,
Hershel shares his new-found love of country music:
"In the early 70s, what we call rock and roll music was the thing...
THE thing. The acid rockers were pulling it to its limits,
the Beatles nearly destroyed it ('Happiness is a Warm Gun'), and Paul
Simon was committing songwriting suicide ('Me and Julio down by the
School Yard'). But rock was still king. Then came MTV.
MTV killed rock and roll. Yep; before MTV, rock music was written to be
heard. After MTV, it was written to be seen. And that was the end of it.
It was the end of rock and roll as we knew it."

| The BBHQ Album of the Month is "Old Friends Live on Stage (Deluxe Edition) (2 CD/1 DVD)," by Simon & Garfunkel. If you were fortunate enough to see them in concert last year, I do not have to sell you. The concert was terrific! This album collection includes 55 songs, plus their new recording, "Citizen of the Planet," and one of the songs sung by the Everly Brothers during the concert. The DVD was recorded during their concert in Madison Square Garden in 2003. For any S&G fan, this is a must have! But then, you knew that already, didn't you? |

The BBHQ Book of the Month is
"The 5000 Year Leap," by
W. Cleon Skousen. The title does not
adequately identify the content, though the concept of the 5,000 year
leap is astounding. The subtitle, Principles of Freedom 101, is
much more applicable to the subject. This book carefully and clearly
summarizes the thinking of the brilliant founding fathers of our country,
the ideas behind the "miracle that changed the world."
