P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson. Morbid, yet fascinating.) Buddy Holly (3) Jerry Lee Lewis Little Richard Carl Perkins Elvis Presley (Official) Elvis Presley (the unofficial site, which has been involved in some interesting battles with the Elvis Presley estate) Gene Vincent

MISCELLANEOUS 50'S STUFF

• Dee Jay Jive-O-Rama By Dick Blackburn. A great essay on the role of dj's in the early development of rock and roll, partly written in the jive patter that many of them used.
• Alan Freed

OTHER INFLUENCES AND HEROES (NOT IN ORDER OF PREFERENCE)

• The Unoffical Billy Bragg Homepage. You can also go to The Official Billy Bragg Homepage; let's face it, now he's a dad, even Uncle Bill's entitled to sell out!!
• Henry the Human Fly Caught in the Web (The Richard Thompson Page). Of course, if you have a link to RT, you must also have a link to his old bandmates,
• Fairport Convention. All together now -- Meet on the web, we're gonna meet on the web . . . .
• The Hypertext Who (The band that started it all for me). And, in case that's not enough, here's a link to the new Pete Townshend site
• Another long-time favorite: Roy Harper. One day, I'll pluck up enough courage to play "Cherishing the Lonesome" in front of an audience; till then, the kids and the cats'll be the only ones to watch me tie my fingers and vocal chords in knots!
• "Well there's only two things in life/ But I forget what they are." A link to the great John Hiatt
• A link to another Bruce. HINT: it's not that Bruce!

AND, LAST BUT NOT LEAST, LINKS TO SOME THINGS I BELIEVE IN ... also not in order of preference (1):Religion (2):Truth (3):Human Rights (4):Beer (5):The colors on this page. Is this cause for celebration?
