Beale Street, Bleeker Street, Haight-Ashbury, Sunset Strip, Music Row
and Motown.
These are the streets that changed music history,
according to Rolling Stone - or is it Chrysler?
And of course, by Motown they mean West Grand Boulevard, but we’ll let
that slide, shall we?
Elvis, Dylan, The Dead, The Doors, all those Motown hits, all that
Country … no one’s gonna argue that some pretty important music came off these
streets – and still does.
Here’s another one, though, that’s kind of a glaring omission: Abbey Road.
A little band called The Beatles made a few hit records there, and I’m
told they enjoyed a bit of influence in their day. Oh, and The Hollies, The Shadows, Pink Floyd,
Radiohead and Oasis.
Oh wait a minute! Guess they
don’t get many Dodge Challengers driving around London.
