Urban Myth (as yet proven or unproven) is that DSOTM was written to sync to The Wizard of Oz movie.
@garybrun In 20 years or so whatever music floated your boat some young turk will chime in and say the same thing.
I've got 11 years on you as I tuned 68 yesterday, so from The Beatles (they landed in NY on my birthday 1964) on through the '70s all rock music is pretty much king with me.
My son, an accomplished musician, composer and arranger, is 46 and to this day still doesn't 'get' The Beatles. He says "they're ok". I still love him anyway.
