Slowly, a strange thing began to dawn on me: you never heard The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, or any of what would be the royalty of England’s rock on their own on broadcast radio. (Unbeknownst to me this had not always been the case. Pirate Radio had filled that void but had been shut down in 1966 – and made into a movie in 2010). Instead, there were (to me) endless insipid and saccharine “pop” music played by a series of insipid deejays, as if England was exactly where America found itself after Elvis went into the Army with the ersatz Fabian.. To me England was the mecca of the new music, and it appeared that England had no time for its own groups. How could this be? Where was the music? FROM AN AMERICAN STORY
