Fever Chapter 4 Response

I really liked how music in the 60's somewhat ended segregation in the musical world. White musicians could be heavily influenced by black artists and in a lot of cases White artists were even more heavily influenced by black women. Even bands as prestigious as the Beatles were taking songs sung by black artists such as "Please Mr. Postman" and making covers of them. Also while I was reading about bands pushing the envelope with sexual content I even listened to the whole song "Lola" by the Kinks to see if it was really about a transvestite. It turns out it actually was and I never knew that. I was especially interested reading about bands such as The Who and The Rolling Stones because they are two groups that I enjoy listening to today and I enjoyed learning new things about Mick Jagger's antics and Keith Moon's lunacy. I knew Keith Moon was crazy and I have heard the story of him driving a car into a hotel pool but I am surprised he didn't die earlier than he did after all of his drug addictions. I even heard a story that he took horse tranquilizer before a concert and they had to grab someone from the crowd to finish the set. The only thing about the chapter I didn't understand was the last part when Riley was talking about Tommy and Jimmy. I don't know who he is referring to.
