Next Door Neighbors by Pat Sandy for June 22, 2024

True.

…not to mention the cancellation of Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, Reggie, Moose, Mr. Weatherbee, Mrs. Grundy, Mr. Lodge, Pop at the Chok’lit Shop, etc. comics! We grew up with those, and they fashioned some of our lives, and helped to guide us.

You can think it, and use headphones, but don’t say it. You’re in danger of losing your Dude membership card, Norm.

Oh, Sugar.

The Monkees are a band with multiple amazing albums that earned it a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They are being kept out for no good reason.

The Archies are a group of studio musicians brought together to sing “Sugar, Sugar” and a couple of other songs. To me, they aren’t a band. And a single hit doesn’t get you in the Hall of Fame.

What about Josie and the Pussycats?

They sang “Bang-Shang-A-Lang.”

I’d say we are deserving artists, Pat. Aren’t we? The process must be rigged. ;)

we definitely need to lobby for the partridge family, too…

Look up “Truck Driver,” by the Archie’s. A great blues number!
