On ROKU, is simply thousands of shows to watch!
I sort of recalled the Hollies, mostly because I became embroiled in a family war within the group......
In 1967,NATO dictated that father had to evaluate one of the new transferees from England - and since they had a teenage son, I was ordered to become his friend.
The day went weirdly, the son was a bit of a psycho - he was convinced that a group called the Hollies had stolen one of their hits from him!
Yeah, British rock groups regularly troll 7th grade Germans for hit songs!
And I walked away from the kid and his hang ups!
A decade later, I am visiting with Mark Lindsey, of the Raiders fame, just my usual Thursday night diversion, when a news item popped up.
The kid I had pegged as troubled, was now 21 and had filed suit against the Hollies, EMI Music, and his parents!
Long story, short - he won!
The court agreed, the song was stolen!
Well, I was stunned!
He had been telling the truth the whole time!
And on the Hollies program there was NO mention of any tune called Bus Stop!
Nor Long Cool Woman! Two of their bigger hits!
Interesting.
