How about posting some songs about rock and roll itself? [View all]

Just remembered this tune from Wussy from a few years back. It’s about kids in the center of nowhere bonding with the music of The Who. Starts a low energy but picks up with passion. I dig it.
.
Anyhow post your tunes about the subject rock and roll…I’m feeling a playlist coming on…..
