Oldies Night at the Library

Sixteen years ago a group of famous authors put together a band and staged a concert to raise funds to fight censorship.  You can experience that historic event Friday evening, May 2, when The Rock Bottom Remainders come to Oldies Night @ The Library.  Stephen King, Amy Tan, Dave Barry, Barbara Kingsolver, and Robert Fulghum were among the rich and famous writers who were part of the band.  They performed rock 'n' roll hits from the '50s and '60s, including "Sea of Love"; "Louie, Louie"; "Bye Bye Love"; "Nadine", and "Da Doo Ron Ron".

A music video, now out of print, preserves that event, and it will be screened as part of Oldies Night.  Also included will be the original hit recordings of the Remainders' repertoire by artists including Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, the Everly Brothers, the Kingsmen, and the Crystals.
