This is the way it
should have been. "We use Country and Western instruments," Haley was
quoted as saying in a 1955 collection of sheet music, "play rhythm and blues
tunes and the result is" - hold your breath - "pop music." He
didn't even know what to call it, for the love of Christ. But the fact remains,
Bill Haley was there first and he helped to set the stage for Elvis and all
that came in his wake. For that, Bill Haley, who walks among us at the age of fifty-five,
deserves, as all things hep, to be honored. Just don't go overboard, y'hear?
