Michele Acampora Farewelled by Avellino Music Community

The legacy of 1960s rock music continues to resonate, as highlighted by several recent reflections and events. The Rolling Stones' 1965 hit "(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction" is celebrated for its iconic riff, innovative use of the fuzz pedal, and lyrics capturing youth dissatisfaction, solidifying its place in rock history. Meanwhile, The Who's early American tours and creative developments in 1968, including the nascent rock opera "Tommy," reflect a shift in the music scene towards live performance and blues and rock revivals. An encounter with Jeremy Clyde of Chad & Jeremy, a British Invasion duo with multiple U.S. Top 40 hits in the mid-1960s, at a local dinner event underscores the enduring personal connections and fan appreciation for this era of music. Also remembered is Michele Acampora, an influential Italian DJ and music scholar who championed rock, jazz, and quality music across decades, marking his recent farewell. These narratives highlight the lasting cultural impact of 1960s rock and its pioneers on generations of fans and musicians alike.
