Subject: INFO NEEDED FOR ROCK BOOK!
Hi seventiesologists,
I'm currently compiling information for a book to be published in 2002 on rock & roll sequels -- songs that are followups, in some sense, to previously existing songs (by the same artist or not). Examples include: Ashes to Ashes, David Bowie's followup to Space Oddity; Sequel, Harry Chapin's followup to Taxi; Little Marie, Chuck Berry's followup to Memphis, etc. Are you aware of any connections along these lines? Any assistance I receive will be credited in the book's acknowledgments.
Many thanks,
Don

Don,
Here are a couple of idea's although I'm not sure if we are thinking on the same page or not. Late 1969 I think the Royal Guardsman had Snoopy vs the Red Baron, and One or two follow ups on the same theme. Also Lynyrd Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama has a direct response to Neil Young and his Southern Man single.
