[Magdalen] FBI - Louie Louie (The Song)

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Sitting here tonight watching PBS do a huge retrospective of the 'rock and 
roll' years from 'the beginning' complete with trivia, many of the original 
artists performing their own work and the interspersed with 'film clips' 
from the 50s, 60s and 70s of various venues featuring the artists when 'they 
were young'.... The Kingsman song Louie Louie came on and I googled trying 
to find something I came across last year that defined what all the 'hoopla' 
was really about when the song was shrouded with controversy (a swear word 
said when a microphone dropped during the taping that is barely discernable 
and only if you know when to listen for it). A  quick google of the song 
title had this link near the top of the screen -  and I was amazed!  The 
FBI's 119 page report (in PDF form online)...

Thinking back to the spring of 1964 - can't believe this was such a priority 
the spring we turned from advisors to warriors after 'the Gulf of Tonkin'. I 
think that it really felt like things were falling apart in the USA (kind of 
like today?)
