I think the Graceland album was one of the finest collections of modern music made. Unfortunately, it was met by waaaay too much political nonsense and never got the recognition it deserved.

Did you have an idea even then that their music was something special, or were they just two among many?

We knew they were good, but we never suspected just HOW good! At they time, they were just local rock 'n rollers and famous for their one hit tune we listened to on the radio and on our 45's. I was paying more attention to Rosie, (actually 'Rose,') she lived around the corner from me, and her friend Celia. They were three-four years older than me,(and never really was 'the queen of Corona,') which as a young 14 was a lifetime away, but I could fantasize as well as anyone! Rose was a real hottie.
