Friday Music Intro To A Great Weekend

Had this one play while working on the darn bass boat.


It’s a song about rock & roll, but also about the land where that music was born, America. It was the music of the youth in this young country, the first one before all others to leave the planet to touch the moon, and then return. This song came less than two years since the moon-landing. That the world was changing profoundly then, in ways both wonderful and worrisome, was obvious, and rock & roll was its soundtrack. It was an electric and anthemic, if often enigmatic, music for this “generation lost in space.”
