I remember as a child I used to hear
Music that they played Lord with a feel'
Some call it folk, some call it soul
People let me tell you it was rock and roll

I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
Every day when I got home I turned on my radio

Listening to the music that my idols made
I knew every single record the DJ's played
A honky tonk a Hound Dog, a Johnny B. Goode
Chain Gang, Love Is Strange, Knock On Wood

I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
I was born to love the beat I was made for rock and roll

I thought it was a fad, thought that it would pass
But the younger generation knew it would last
Time's gone by, the beat goes on
But every time I hear it Lord it takes me home

I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
Every day when I got home I turned on my radio

Mother played recordings of Beethoven's Fifth
Mozart's sonatas down the classical Liszt
My papa loved to listen to his country songs
While I was in the back room rockin' on

I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
I was born to love the beat I was made for rock and roll

I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
I was born to love the beat I was made for rock and roll
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul

--Elvis (Later covered by Johnny Winter) - Raised on Rock

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away

Its more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
till I see marianne walk away
I see my marianne walkin away

So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
As clear as the sun in the summer sky

Its more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
till I see marianne walk away
I see my marianne walkin away

When Im tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped awa y. she slipped away.

Its more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
till I see marianne walk away
I see my marianne walkin away

--Boston - "More Than a Feeling"

I'm fucking psyched. I'm going to go see two kick ass shows at the end of this month.

I don't go to as many concerts as I used too, and it's just really cool that I'm going to go see two killer performers.

On the 26th I'm going to see Joe Satriani with Eric Johnson, then on the 30th I'm going to go see Dr. John. Dr. John is playing with someone else, but I didn't recognize the name. I think he's a trumpet player. Either way it's going to be awesome.

I've missed a lot of really good shows in the past two years that I really wanted to see (vai, satch, dio, zebra (several times), i'm going to miss Jazz Fest).

I need to get back into the live music scene. I've become so goddamn boring. All I ever do is get wasted and sit around. No more. Now I'm going to get wasted and stand around... at a concert.

I've never seen Satch play live except in the DVD's that I have of his concerts. I'd really like to see Vai (or even better G3), but this is going to be great. On top of that I LOVE Eric Johnson.

To be honest, I'm a little more stoked about Dr. John, though. I've never seen him live, but I remember hearing he is a killer performer. Something about psychedelic hoo-doo stage shows.

Rock on!null
