Since I have been unable to come up with a topic to post about and I'm pretty sure that no one reads this blog anymore, I think I'll just go back to putting up some
random thoughts from time to time. Today's Random Thought is that
Born to Run, by
Bruce Springsteen, is probably the most perfect rock and roll song I've ever heard. It's about desperation, urgency, love, rebellion, and ultimately about escaping the bonds of complacency and reaching for a dream. All are themes that rock and roll are built on, but I think this one does the best of putting them all together. There's a great sax solo and an iconic
guitar solo to boot. I know they put
Chuck Berry on the disc that they included on the
Voyager,(and is now sailing somewhere through the
Milky Way)as an example of
Rock and roll music, but I would have chosen this one as the best example of the art form. Just my opinion and my random thought for today.
