What’s is the event being described in the song Poor Rock and Roll by Nicky & the Nobels? I don’t know what year it was done, but it can’t be referring to the Moondog Coronation Ball, because that was in Cleveland. And who is the guy crying?
Rock and Roll is on it’s way
Let’s all wave goodbye
It happened in Beantown,
And that is not a lie
He cried and he cried,
But it didn’t do no good
For only Rock and Rollers
Could have understood
They say that there was trouble
But we don’t know the score
I can tell you people
There’ll be no more
The band was movin’ and a-grovin’
The fans were in a roar
There almost was a riot
But the law knocked down the door
He cried and and he cried,
But it didn’t do no good
For only Rock and Rollers
Could have understood
No more [shot of dada?]
[Yip gip by the score?]
Come on Rock and Rollers
Get out off the floor
