blog writing #iconic songs: history and impact of classic tracks

"Rocket 88" is often considered one of the earliest rock and roll songs. What first grabbed my attention about this song was the upbeat tempo and the energy in the saxophone solo. The lyrics celebrate the joy and freedom of driving a stylish car, which felt infectious and exciting. I liked the old-time feel and could just imagine how exciting the era was. This song caught my attention with its simplicity and yet powerful message of how to enjoy life's pleasures. The playful tone with a catchy rhythm was a fun listen. Generally speaking, I liked this song more for its historical value and sense of spirit.
