    What I find amazing is that these people were able to do comedy and music without having to swear area of the word and make sexual innuendos Non-Stop. My 20-year-old son just discovered Sha Na Na and he's laughing his head off.

    Watching Sha-na-na in the 70's as a 12 year old got me hunting 50's music. I have loved it ever since.
