I Like The Mother's

In the late 60's and early 70's, just about every Saturday, a group of friends use to travel to NYC, and into the village to go to the Fillmore East. We would all get tuned up a tad and go and listen and watch some of the classic rock groups of the that era. Groups like Chicago Transit Authority,( later none as Chicago)Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin, Allman Bro.Band, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Humble Pie, Procol Harum and Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. The Mothers of Invention were one of my favorite groups. I just love there music and satirical lyrics on their many albums. So it was quite a thrill for me at a Ten Years After concert we were attending to see the Mothers standing in the lobby, and no one around them. So our group heads over to say hello. Well these guys couldn't have been nicer to a bunch of kunckleheaded fans. My friends wife asked them if they were ever in Iselin New Jersey to stop over and say hi. They said they would. We said that we had seen them on the Mike Douglas Show the previous week. They all asked us how they looked on the show. We all said "very cool man". They were just a bunch of nice guys living their dream. And it was nice to meet them. But they never did get to Iselin.

Here is a Mothers song for all you mothers

Does it count that I've seen Paul McCartney AND the Rolling Stones in concert?
