    A few decades ago and for some reason, Johnny returned to his adopted home town of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he performed a free, outdoor concert, on the grounds of the Old State Capitol. Almost no one showed up!! I did and was standing at the stage, directly in front of Johnny. He played all his hits beautifully. When he left the stage, I asked the drummer if I could have Johnny's guitar pick. I still have it. Says "Johnny Rivers" on it!😊

    How could Johnny Rivers not be in that rotten Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? He is one of the best.

    Can you imagine they actually used to play music this good on the radio.

    Johnny Rivers is a legend and deserves to already be in the RocknRoll Hall of Fame Shame on all who do not act now.

    Johnny Rivers recorded sooooo many good songs. This is from back when singers could actually sing without auto tuners. Johnny not only sang many great hits, but also helped other artists by passing off songs to them. That and he helped with the Monterey Pop Festival........the man was so much more than just someone who sang a song!

    This song is now so iconic a description of 1967 and the era that followed it should be the anthem of the 60's. Rivers was surely an underrated writing talent. The arrangement of the orchestra totally supports the poetic description of the lyrics. The chord progression shows a longing mood to return to the idealistic feeling of our youth. The mere mention of Sgt. Pepper punctuates the whole idea of the song. Anyone who doesn't get it did not live in the era or was asleep with a crew cut head.
