Tell Everybody You Know You've Got A Rock And Roll Soul

Tell Everybody You Know You've Got A Rock And Roll Soul

I tell everybody I know I've got a rock and roll soul. OK, sooo, what the hell does that mean? For me that means I've got a young and vibrant soul. Even at seventy one I put my ear phones on, turn up the rock and roll and dance with my dog before I walk her.

For me, rock and roll comes in many flavors. From The Rolling Stones to Three Dog Night to The Black Crows to The Commodores to even country singers Bob Seger and John Mellencamp - It's all rock and roll to me. You see, it's not about the music; it's about how the music makes me feel. You see, it's not about the songs; it's about how I feel.

My father believed rock and roll was just noise. My mother only listened to Frank and Tony. My father didn't have a rock and roll soul. My mother, even though she only liked crooners, had a rock and roll soul. I guess I got my soul from my Mom.

Sooo, even though you only listen to Big Band or Opera or Country or Jazz, etc., it's all about how that music makes you feel. Even if you don't listen to any music, it's all about whether you have or don't have a young and vibrant soul.

For those of you who don't have a young and vibrant soul, you're just going through the motions of life. For some of you, life is all about getting through the day. For a very few (I hope) of you, life is not worth living. I hope that those people find a way to change their soul via music, religion, a therapist or any other way that gives you the best chance of putting a smile on your soul.

For those of you that have a young and vibrant soul:
