I think of rock 'n' roll as a combination of country blues and swing band music, not Chicago blues, and modern pop.
I felt like I might as well have been living in another part of the solar system.
You could listen to Woody Guthrie songs and actually learn how to live.
Call me any name you like I will never deny it.
It will scramble your head and drag your brain about, sometimes you gotta do like Elvis did and shoot the damn thing out.
You can't imagine parlor ballads drifting out of high-rise multi-towered buildings. That kind of music existed in a more timeless state of life.
