The boys wind the clocks back to wholesome ’50s nostalgia, sculpt a perfectly greasy pompadour, and use the scientific method to conduct an autopsy on the corpse of Bill Haley & His Comets’ proto-teen anthem, “Rock Around the Clock.” #podcast #rock #50s #billhaley https://open.spotify.com/episode/3Z8R8R6I0LI8MfoEwW0EPF
45 years ago today, #BillHaley, American rock guitarist and vocalist known as the father of Rock 'n' Roll (...& his Comets - "Rock Around the Clock"; "See You Later, Alligator"), died of a #heartattack probably caused by alcoholism at 55.

Watching #Visconti 1957 film #LeNottiBianche (#WhiteNights) based on #Dostoevsky story & during a great dance scene there’s a swinging 1948 rock ‘n’ roll song by #BillHaley & The Comets - #ThirteenWomen - that starts out:

Last night I was dreaming’
Dreamed about the H-bomb
Well, the bomb-a went off
And I was caught
I was the only man underground

[Chorus]
There was-a thirteen women
And only one man in town…

Hmm. Rocking to the fantasy of being a kept man after an #H-Bomb explodes…
