The first time i heard rock and roll was one of the great moments in my life because i knew i had heard something entirely new and fresh and mennt for ME. Not my Parents or any growup it was meant for ME and my friends. It spoke to me of things that were important to me and in terms i understood. It made me laugh cry sing dance rage swear it made me feel, When i found rock and roll i found my life i found my sense of community. If someone could write about the things i was feeling and experienceing i knew i was not alone.And the people singing these wonderful songs were no different than me, They by and large came from working class families who struggled just like mine. Rock and roll was my generations indentity it gave us a sense of community and we needed it. Cause not long after the shit started in Viet Nam
