I bought a DVD of The White Stripes
playing live in England. The disk is called Under
Blackpool Lights. During the concert they cover a Son
House tune called Death Letter.
When I saw the shot of the audience pulsing up and down in unison I realized
that was the true power of rock and roll. Following is a clip I ripped from the
DVD (check out the pulse of the crowd in the shot from behind Jack):
Death Letter - High (68 MB)
Death Letter - Low (25 MB)
The cover for this playlist is taken from the DVD artwork. It's a picture of
Meg White as the character Jolene from the Dolly Parton tune.
The true power of rock and roll can make you heave and sway with friends and
strangers. The true power of rock and roll doesn't come from wires and
amplifiers, although they help propel it at high velocity. The true power of rock
and roll comes from genitalia and the primitive brain. The true power of rock and
roll is transmitted throughout the universe on radio waves as ancient as the big
bang singularity. The true power of rock and roll cannot be harnessed only
experienced.
