    The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

      Funny thing, memory. I remember the exact spot - outside (opposite) the Woodclyff Hostel in Church Street. God, I wish I could go back! The things I would change, the life I would have! I would still marry the same woman, though. 43 years together, and there would never have been anyone else. I am not spiritual, but I do think it's odd that we found each other.

We tend to view one another with distrust, and we’ve developed a tendency to lash out with impatience and hostility toward one another. Instead of viewing one another as friends, neighbors, and fellow travelers, we respond to strangers as ‘alien others’. How did we arrive here at this point? More importantly, how can we return to civility and come back together?

    What a cutie pie. Classy, modest, poised & professional! Musically our generation that grew up with these amazing singers and musicians are of the highest standard that no one before or after have been able to equal, alone rival. It was all down hill musically after that. Some of the trash I have heard coming from the radio these days is fit for only one thing--a dumpster fire! To think that the talent mocking buffoons have taken over the air waves that were once occupied by the
    legends and artistic composers is horrifying. The music industry has been turned on it's head
    with people that have no business being there , nor have the talent required for a recording contract!

      i am 40 and hated the music from my own generation and utterly loathe this crap they have today.... funnily enough so do my kids who are still in their teens. it's rare if they play anything newer than the 80's (unless it's a remix of the jazz/swing/big band era.) my youngest son has always had a penchant for Louie Armstrong and Fred Astaire. He recently discovered Tom Waits,.... that's probably the newest material in his playlist.
      i don't begrudge anyone for liking what they like. but i wish they wouldn't assault my ears with it. i haven't played the fm radio in years. couldn't tell ya the first pop song of today.

    waaaaay back in the 1990s (96 to be exact) i found this little 45 rpm in my mom's long forgotten record collection. she gave up listening to vinyl long ago and i sorta took over them when i was pretty young. but some how that one escaped my attention, hidden among the more popular albums like Thriller and Cindi Lauper's girls just wanna have fun..
    during this phase i was heavily into 60s music anyway, monkees, beatles etc. but my mom didn't have THOSE. So when i saw that little green apple logo i flipped.
    I didn't recognize the singer but did recognize who wrote it. And i fell in love with it.
    I used to play it every morning as i got ready for school.....lonely time for me. but also kinda weirdly comforting.
    my brother was away in basic training and my mom was working early hours to earn extra money and it was my responsibility to put myself on the bus (and i did, most days...)
    This song and and several others made it less lonely.
    Keep in mind this was the 90s..... i didn't have any friends. the two i did have moved far away and never wrote and this was before internet found its way into our homes. that walk to the bus stop was torture. standing alone in the dawn by myself, and it was always foggy, was torture. and that bus ride to school, surrounded by noisy kids who had friends was torture. never mind the rest of the day. i spent most of it in my head, watching the clock and drawing in my secret sketchbook, hoping the teachers wouldn't see... or reading. i was a notorious book worm!
    some time around that period i figured out how to make mixed tapes from the record player and that helped with the loneliness... sorta. i would sneak my walkman onto the bus and try to hide the headphones under my hair so others wouldn't notice. because i absolutely hated being asked what i was listening to....nearly as much as i hated being asked what i was reading. Because as soon as i would tell them they would give me these dumb mooncalf looks or laugh at me saying "that's OLD!!" or they'd call it lame.
    needless to say, i was not one of the cool kids and didn't want to be. the only thing i had going for me was my art and a lot of daydreaming.
    So, not long after that the internet eventually DID make its way into the house and I made friends who liked the same music and even introduced me to more. We would talk for hours about these old 60s bands, pretend to be hippies or make up stories of what it would be like if we could go back in time. We even plotted to run away to California... and then i actually made a friend at school who ACTUALLY lived on my street. and she ACTUALLY liked my music! and I actually looked forward to that long walk in the dark mornings because if i hurried she and i could talk and play music before the bus arrived.
    All the while..... This song has been like an anthem for me.
    "please don't wake me up too late, tomorrow comes and i will not be late..."
