Goodbye Jerry Leiber--Rock 'n' Roll ain't dead 'cos it can't die

Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller wrote total classics, the music from when we wore braces and Clearasil and tried to look stacked in a sweater.

Charlie Brown "why's everybody always pickin' on me......Charlie Brown", Stand by Me, Hound Dog, Jailhouse Rock, and Yakity Yak (sic) (a lesser work, apparently dashed off in five minutes).

Karen---a huge rock 'n' roll fan and connoisseuse-- sent me the link to Big Mama Thornton singing an unforgettable Hound Dog....

Goodbye Mr. Leiber---thank you for an amazing legacy.
