Lou Reed wrote this song about the transformation that the radio and rock’n roll had in his life:
“‘Rock and Roll’ is about me. If I hadn’t heard rock and roll on the radio, I would have had no idea there was life on this planet. Which would have been devastating – to think that everything, everywhere was like it was where I come from. That would have been profoundly discouraging. Movies didn’t do it for me. TV didn’t do it for me. It was the radio that did it.”
My father bemoaned the music he heard coming from my room and warned that it would change me. He was right.
What a great song this is. Explain to the officer that you couldn’t help yourself but slam that pedal down as the frenzy grew.
