God save The Kinks!

14 March 2007

AS a teenager in the 1970s I struggled with my peers who insisted on playing AC/DC, Kiss, Rush, etc.

My life was permanently changed when I became aware of The Kinks thanks to a college radio station in Atlanta, Georgia. Most of my friends didn't get it but I didn't care. I learned it was OK to not be like everybody else.

As an American, conservative, and want-to-be capitalist (I am as poor as a church mouse) I am generally concerned about government intrusion into private business. Nonetheless, there are times when powers greater than ourselves need to step in. God Save The Kinks!
