If The Battery In Your Truck Ever Dies, Just Hook Your Jumper Cables Up To This Blog



GOOD TIME ROCK!!!!!

As you head out for July 4th to celebrate the fact you don't have to work on Monday by stuffing your face and getting stupid fucked up, remember this.....MUSIC is a MUST! as it will help enhance the fun and might jog your memory if you wind up in a ditch somewhere.  Either way take my advice and don't just put the radio on....do Pandora or a playlist but don't let the drunk woman with the USA bikini force you to listen to pop or country all weekend no matter how big her tits are..... and with that said I give you the playlist for the weekend......I have mostly Southern Rock but in my search I noticed some Classic Rock that is TIMELESS and seeing it rather than hearing it makes a big difference.



And most of these would fit perfect for Daytona to watch some racing but who the fuck cares....so sit back, drink a beer preferably a Miller High Life, drink some JD, smoke a joint or do ALL and ENJOY!!!

Rare Earth - Get Ready (1969)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Z8NU5ImK0



I had to start with this as the Pete Rivera's voice just grabs you by the throat WAY better than the Temptations version....

When people ask me my FAVORITE bands I always forget HEART probably because I am burned out on the classics by them after growing up with them and working at a Classic Rock station and hearing them all the time.....BUT they are FUCKING INCREDIBLE and these videos prove that this song, while overplayed is a CLASSIC.   Also, "Crazy On You" and "Magic Man" are from the DEBUT album by them so they started out with a bang.... I saw them in 1979 when I was 10 at the Day Of Rock and Roll in the Superdome and I remember Nancy strumming that guitar and Ann's KILLER voice.....here ya go....BOTH videos KICK ASS

Heart - Crazy On You (Live 1977 on the Midnight Special)

I posted this because of the sound quality and Roger Fisher (Guitar) really does look like Luke Skywalker playing guitar in the back.  And some lady has pointed out his camel toe too also....LMFAO




Heart - Silver Wheels / Crazy On You (Live)

FUCKIN UNBELIEVABLE TO WATCH LIVE!!!!!!

1973!!!!!! did you notice that?!?!?  WOW FUCKING WOW....and ANOTHER debut album......song is so fucking timeless....and same album as "Freebird", "I Ain't The One", "Tuesday's Gone" so you have flicked your BIC to this album MANY TIMES....





Lynyrd Skynyrd - That Smell (1977)

One of the BEST drug tunes of all time...NO QUESTION!!!

"Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars 
Oak tree you're in my way
There's too much coke and too much smoke 

Look what's going on inside you"

People forget that .38 Special is Donnie Van Zant which is an offshoot of Skynyrd so they have that same sound....they rock!!
