Generation X Offender

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROCK N ROLL!

1956 - 2026

70 Years of Maximum Rock N Roll!

Years in the making, Rock N Roll officially became part of the cultural zeitgeist in 1956, the first year this perpetually evolving NEW MUSIC produced the most popular song of the year, Heartbreak Hotel by Elvis Presley.

Fellow Rock N Rollers Little Richard, Fats Domino, Gene Vincent, Carl Perkins, Frankie Lymon And The Teenagers, Bill Haley And The Comets, vocal group The Platters and British skiffle sensation Lonnie Donegan were also present in the Top 50 Year End Singles Chart of 1956.

This had never happened before in the history of recorded music...

From that point on, Rock N Roll instantly took over the charts, becoming the most dominant genre of popular music for the next 40 plus years.

To celebrate this milestone. The GXO music podcast will, over the coarse of a number of episodes, be exploring and expanding upon the ever evolving nature of Rock N Roll from it's humble acoustic beginnings through numerous other incarnations including, but not limited to, pub rock, punk rock, proto punk, post punk, industrial, disco, electronic, hardcore, rap, EDM, post rock, new rock and ultimately where she currently resides in the hills of contemporary NPR = New Post Rock where nary a guitar is likely to be found.

In the first of the series: "Its...Rock N Roll 01" we find ourselves milling about the ghastly mellow saxophones of 1973, walking Carnaby Street in fashionable London in the Swinging 60's, trolling the Bowery in 1970s East Village, lower Manhattan, frequenting both Max's Kansas City AND CBGBs, dodging THREE of The Big Four while giving up the ghost to the Heavy Metal strains of ragged orchestral cellos and all that Jazz.

All this and MORE...

In the latest installment of the GXO, Generation X Offender music podcast, offending friend and foe alike since 1966

In the immortal words of 70's disco singer and pornographic actress Andrea True, "More, more, more. How do you like it? How do you like it?"

Why?

Because more is, MORE!

Right?

Why choose when you can have more?

Why chose when you can have both?

"This is what you want, this is what you get" - John Lydon

MORE SEX please! (no, we're not British)

Back by popular demand, we've extended the Sex segment of our three episode dissemination of "the great civilizing force of the 20th Century, Rock N Roll"

Why?

Because we love you.

We love to love you baby.

Yup. You read that right.

FU*K Valentines Day! Right where the sun don't shine.

Angry? Bitter? Spiteful?

Nah!!!!!!

We're just not buying into the corporate driven cash orgy of spending that tells us all our love isn't valid unless we SPEND! SPEND! SPEND! on February the 14th of  every year.

VALENTINES DAY! Yuck! The biggest crock since...

As always, this one is inclusive and, for EVERYONE (that includes you, you happy loving relationship folks) but today's episode is especially directed towards...

All who are hurting and alone today. Today's a tough one. Our darkest, negative voices really do rub our faces in it today, with our isolation and our deeply held ill notions of personal failure. At our worst? Unlovable. Unlikeable. Unable. Unworthy. Don't get us started...

We love you.

We love you.

We love you.

You ARE loved.

And, in the wise words of Maude herself, uttered through the vessel of Dame Ruth Gordon (we're paraphrasing here):

"That's wonderful (Harold!). Now that you know love, go out and love some more! Never let the world deprive you of your right to make an ass of yourself. Otherwise, ya got nothing to talk about in the locker room"  - Harold & Maude

Ok, so all the Grammy hype has quieted down. But does anyone really care anymore? Really?

Does anyone really care about the darlings and celebrities of Billboard's Top 200?

Do you care?

We don't.

And the majority of the artists in music today who we care about don't care about it either.

What we do care about is Rock N Roll, which is all but completely unrepresented in popular media today, ESPECIALLY at the Grammys.

You know what else is underrepresented? In Rock N Roll?

All the tremendously influential WOMEN who helped build it and shape it into the art form it has become.

Today's show WOMEN! ROCK! gives credit where credit's due.

Do you know who was the first musician to consistently utilize distortion?

Do you know the powerful, uncompromising woman who's song Hound Dog was stolen by Elvis Presley?

Do you know who the first two all female rock band's were?

Do you know who Rock Royalty's First Lady of The Blues is?

YOU WILL!

Remembering DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. on his Official Celebration Day  Monday, January 19, 2026

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead but it really doesn't matter with me now

Because I have been to the mountaintop. 

I don't mind.

Like anybody, I would like to live a long life.

Longevity has its place.

But I'm not concerned about that now.

I just want to do God's will

And he has allowed me to go up to the mountaintop

And I have looked over

And I have seen 

The Promised Land.

I may not get there with you

But I want you to know tonight,

That we, as a people,

Will get to the Promised Land.

So I'm happy tonight.

I'm not worried about anything.

I'm not fearing any man.

Mine eyes have seen

The Glory

Of the coming of the Lord!" - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

THE MUSIC

A Change Is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke https://music.apple.com/ca/album/a-change-is-gonna-come/1440771554?i=1440773321 Written solely by Cooke himself with an arrangement by Cooke's own personal arranger Rene Hall ("I wanted it to be the greatest thing in my life") the side was recorded on January 30, 1964 at RCA Studio in Hollywood, California.

Cooke first performed " A Change Is Gonna Come" on The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson on February 7, 1964. Cooke initially objected to performing the song that evening on Carson when prompted to by his manager Allen Klein. Cooke noted that the album's release was still one month away and that he had no time to pull together an arrangement within such a short time frame. Klein arranged for RCA to pay for a full string section and Cooke performed the song that Friday on The Tonight Show. Sadly the network did not save the the tape of the performance. Cooke's appearance on Carson that night was overshadowed by The Beatles performance on The Ed Sullivan Show just two days later.

The song was issued March 1, 1964 as a track on what would be Cooke's final studio album Ain't That Good News. It would not be issued as a single for another nine months, following Cooke's murder.

Cooke elected never to perform the song ever again following its one and only performance on The Tonight Show, both because of the complexity of the arrangement and also because of the ominous nature of the song. 

On December 11, 1964, two weeks before the single was releases, Sam Cooke was fatally shot at the Hacienda Motel at 91st and South Figueroa streets, 9141 South Figueroa Street in South Central Los Angeles, California.

*Little Flame by Carsie Blanton https://music.apple.com/ca/album/the-little-flame-single/1854904398 released December 5, 2025. There is nothing out now more current and timely to our age than this. Known for delivering songs with an equal dose of moxie and mischief, Carsie Blanton's music brings audiences together in joyful celebration of everything worth fighting for. Her other recent releases "Rich People" and "Ugly Nasty Commie Bitch" showcase her unique blend of politics and catchy melodies. Little Flame is, simply put, the Blowing In The Wind of our generation.
