   Poor Wayne Newton.
   Why does everyone pick on him?

   I have quoted, “it was the beat … the beat got to me” so many times over the years …

   Don’t go blaming the beat for that one!

   You kids today …
   Here’s the context of this comic:
   “In 1983, Watt banned The Beach Boys from playing a Fourth of July concert on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., saying that rock concerts drew “an undesirable element” […]”

   Wayne Newton played instead.

   For your daily dose of history

   Thanx dhx0. The strip is funny anyway, but now so much more. Keep on dosing.

   At least we had music in 1983. What allegedly passes for music today is beyond understanding and endurance.

   isn’t that what all of them try and blame it on? Thanks for the trivia tidbit dhx0.

   jrbj – that is what old farts say about every new style of music. (not that I disagree with you, as I listen to my Tommy Dorsey and Gene Krupa 78s ….)

   I wonder when kids will stop thinking they have to shock their parents to get attention? Maybe when us old farts start paying attention without being shocked? :o

    @dhx0 That makes this funnier. I love the ironic twist.

    rayannina, the phrase that always stuck with me was “general nudeness.” Still cracks me up.
