Kwiminyaka embalwa yokuqala, yayiludumo nje olusulungekileyo. Kwathabatha iminyaka emibini okanye emithathu ukuba abantu baqonde ukuba sasingezozidalwa ezingaqhelekanga ezavela eNgilani kodwa yayingabafana ababini baseQueens ababedla ngokucula i-rock 'n' roll.

Emva koko abantu bathi 'bubuxoki' kodwa andizange ndiyiqonde loo nto. Yayibubuxoki. Kodwa, akusiyo ukusilela kokubhalwa kweengoma, kuba abantu abanjalo kwaye babeka intsingiselo eyaneleyo kuyo, kwaye yonke ingoma inamandla okwaneleyo kunye nemvakalelo, ndiyaqikelela, ukuyenza, ngoko kulungile. Kodwa kum, ngalo lonke ixesha ndicula loo nxalenye, ndiba neentloni.'
USimon wongeze ukuba ikwayara engenamagama yanika le ngoma isibheno samazwe aphesheya, njengoko ibiyinto yehlabathi liphela. - Iseshini edumileyo yomdlali wengoma u-Hal Blaine wenze isandi esikhulu segubu ngoncedo lomvelisi uRoy Halee, owafumana indawo yeedrama phambi kweelevator kwiiofisi zaseColumbia. Njengoko kubaliswa ngo-2011 Ukwenziwa kweBhulorho phezu kwaManzi aneNgxaki I-documentary, uBlaine wayeza kubethela iidrama ekupheleni kwelizwi elithi 'Lie la lie' elalidlala kwii-headphones zakhe, kwaye ngaxeshanye, unogada osekhulile wamangaliswa kakhulu xa ephuma kwi-elevator kwaye wothuswa nguBlaine. amagubu anendudumo.
