THE JAGUAR AND THE THUNDERBIRD
Fast cars and fast women: that's where rock n roll started and that is where it remains today. The very phraserock n roll is a description of how automobiles sway from side to side as they go screaming down the highway. From Chuck Berrys many songs about cars (˜Maybelline,The Jaguar And The Thunderbird,You Cant Catch Me,No Money Down) to the Beach Boys ("Little Deuce Coupe,Fun, Fun, Fun,Shut Down,") to Bruce Springsteen ("Thunder Road, "Born To Run,Cadillac Ranch,Stolen Car,Drive All Night,The Wreck On The Highway) the automobile and the escape it offers are inextricably woven into the fabric of rock n roll songs, names of groups, and the real-life escapades and tragedies of the people who wrote and sang hit after hit across the last three decades.
