A Valentine's Day Ode to Rock 'n Roll

Communication Breakdown:
" I don't know what it is that I like about you but I like it a lot "
--Robert Plant's voice trails down the key of E like a siren wailing down a busy street on the way to a structural breakdown
--physical breakdown
--fire.
" Let me stand next to your fire " so that I can get some of that satisfaction
--'Cause I try and I try and I remember the moment I understood "Rock 'n Roll" I was sitting in the back seat of my mom's mini-van like any good suburbanite peeling back the layers of flesh on my cuticles, out of boredom or the lazy desire to taste blood I couldn't tell you, but Sympathy For the Devil was playing on the radio, a song that had passively made its way into my musical vocabulary when I heard it
--two guitars screaming at each other
--ever since I've been trying to get that satisfaction and ever since it just won't come
--but "Don't you love her madly?"
--"Don't you need her madly?"
-- I do.
