My dad was a Silent whose musical taste reached far enough into rock and 
roll to appreciate Elvis, and that's about it. He was a big fan of 
groups like The Platters, and to his credit he loved Sam Cooke. My 
in-laws are kinda the same. They were there when rock and roll happened, 
but the never seem to have developed a relationship with it.

"...it's a lonesome thing to be passing small towns 
with the lights shining sideways when the night is down, 
or going in strange places with a dog nosing before you 
and a dog nosing behind, or drawn to the cities where 
you'd hear a voice kissing and talking deep love in every 
shadow of the ditch, and you passing on with an empty, 
hungry stomach failing from your heart."
