Although Vee played saxophone in the high school band, he had other aspirations. "I wanted to rock out. We were playing all the standard band pieces and I wanted to do "Yakety Yak", says Vee. He saved enough money from working his paper route to by a Harmony guitar.

On February 3, 1959, now known as "the day the music died", a plane carrying Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and The Big Bopper, crashed in an Iowa corn field killing all on board. The plane was headed for Fargo, North Dakota for a concert. The promoters looked for local talent to fill the opening slot of the concert and settled on 15-year old Bobby Vee.

Throughout his career, Bobby Vee had 28 songs on the Billboard 100 charts. Vee's firts hit was in 1959 when he recorded "Susie Baby" in Minneapolis. His next big hit was "Devil or Angel", which peaked at #6. Other hits include: "Rubber Ball", "The Night Has A Thousand Eyes", "Take Good Care Of My Baby", "Earth Angel" and "Come Back When You Grow Up."

In 2012, Bobby Vee announced that he was diagnosed with the early stages Alzheimer's Disease.

What Is Wrong With Pat Robertson?

2013-05-17T21:38:00.001-06:00

On a recent episode of "The 700 Club", a woman sent in a letter asking TV evangelist Pat Robertson how she could forgive her cheating husband. Instead of being empathetic of the woman's concerns, Robertson told her, “Here’s the secret, stop talking about the cheating. He cheated on you. Well, he’s a man." The evangelist went on to say, “Does he provide a home for you to live in? Does he provide food for you to eat? Does he provide clothes for you to wear, is he nice to the children, is he handsome?” Then he added, “Males have a tendency to wander a bit, and what you want to do is make the home so wonderful that he doesn’t want to wander.”

Dr. Robertson has obviously lost touch and has forgotten the Commandment regarding adultery.

Whatever Became Of: The Grass Roots

2013-04-10T19:20:00.000-06:00

The Grass Roots was a band from the mid 60's. Their early history is complicated due to several formations and breakups. They began in 1965 when Dunhill records asked two songwriters/producers to write some folk-rock songs, which became vogue in the mid sixties thanks to writers like Bob Dylan and bands like Peter, Paul and Mary. Dunhill wanted to cash in on that market. The two song writers were P. F. Sloan and Steve Barri. They wrote, and recorded, a demo record that was distributed to radio stations in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The demo showed some minor success. Sloan and Barri decided to find an existing band and make them the Grass Roots. After two bands that came and went, the Grass Roots finally solidified in 1966. The members were Creed Bratton, Rick Coonce, Warren Entner , and Rob Grill. Bratton, Coonce and Entner came from a band called The 13th Floor.

The band had 14 top 40 hits including "Let's Live for Today", "Midnight Confessions", "Temptation Eyes" and "Two Divided by Love." The band had 7 gold singles and 1 platinum single.

The band toured in later years on the oldies circuit. Lead singer Rob Grill passed away in 2011.
