Yet we have all heard what a family influence will do to a person. I cannot fault the boy in his case and the last line says it all.

Dickie Lee didn't have the courage to defy his parents or sneak off and see her. And he his decision to commit suicide was based on hearsay. Patches would have been better off if she had had Jerry ("Midnight Mary") or
James as a boyfriend.

Al Jolson. Sonny Boy. Great tune. I also like Ruth's version.

"Today's music is not much more than white noise to me. I can't think of a single pop song from the last 20 years that I know the lyrics to or who sings it." Said somebody in 1960.
Kids! They are just impossible to control!
Kids! With their awful clothes and their rock and roll!
Why can't they dance like we did?
What's wrong with Sammy Kaye?
What's the matter with kids today? --Lee Adams, 1960
