ROCK and ROLL Soldier

A regular musing of a self-described rock and roll girl who is soldiering on for the love of all things rock and roll. I hope to have daily, weekly, monthly or whenever I get the time and motivation music blogs dedicated to all things music....and rock and roll.

My fav Beatles lp ‘Abbey Road’ is as old as me and #1 on the charts. Who knew that the Beatles would still be the band to best in 2019 ...and that the Stones would still be touring? Long live rock and roll. #rockandrollneverforgets #abbeyroad #fab4 #mysweetgeorge https://www.instagram.com/p/B3PH36VDqA1q5oXdx5i3nqjeinxPDC6Uwftqto0/?igshid=6wvmwvyhs6l7

About last night. Adam Ant did not disappoint. Still has the moves and the bawdy wit. All of my high school dreams came true in seeing him perform Friend or For in full as well as many of his early hits. Such a fun night of music and nostalgia with @sasha_z and @chris__507 #crackpothistory #latergram #adamant #2drummers2drums (at Merriam Theater) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2rGMFmDST-cTWfXnuxRGuZSCkJ_h9oQkn3nXg0/?igshid=1sjz47iak66s1

Dream concert. Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). Everyone knows I love a little classical with my rock. And a band that is recognizable due to its use of its spaceship logo… bound to be one of my favs. One of the best rock shows I’ve seen in sometime. The light show and effects were amazing… no, it wasn’t like the band stepping from a spaceship in the 70s but spectacular just the same. The music and vocals were perfect. The harmonies were on point. Highlight of the night Danni Harrison singing his father’s part on Handle Me With Care. He really sounds like George. Had a great seat and sat next to a guy who kept screaming I Love you Jeff… 😳 on the other side of me sat a nice family who purchased too many platinum packages and the mom gave me her bag of collectibles. All in all a good haul of stuff. This band makes me think of my dad, New World Record was an album cover I will always remember because of him. #ELO #livingthing #allovertheworld #mrbluesky #turntostone 🚀 🔥 ⚡️ 🎼 (at Wells Fargo Center)

If Teddy Pendergrass says wake up, you best get woke! A nearly 50 year old song still holds relevance today. Now that’s good music... or just a sign of the times. #haroldmelvinandthebluenotes #butalwaysteddysshow (at South Philadelphia) https://www.instagram.com/randrgirl/p/Bwe2AA1jDR5KuWD07YGZWVByY3ge_xxP0M93js0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fvgkyw7r1i0s

KISS! We wanted the best. We got the best! Seriously this is up there with one of the best concerts I’ve ever attended. I may have lost my hearing in my right ear for good but I can say I had the most amazing time when it happened. So close that we got to interact with the band. They are so fun and really amazing musicians. Got Gene’s guitar pick...not my fav but he meant it for me so I’m happy with that! FYI... randrgirl is for rock and roll not rest and relaxation. They sang Black Diamond and dug far back into their catalog for those who could remember. They didn’t sing my song most likely because it’s not a KISS original but a cover, but god gave rock and roll to you is one of the best rock anthems ever. As they left the stage with the lights still down they played it for the fans. It was really the perfect ending to a great rock show. I did cry! Lol but mostly I had an amazing time and laughed! #KISS #KISSArmy4evah #kissendoftheroadtour #starchild #destroyer #rockandallnight https://www.instagram.com/randrgirl/p/Bvola32jaO08tBzYvLWuqobAYfYUgAEcH9LpLw0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3735htvcre6v

Imagine. Imagine all of the gun violence... that has taken place since John Lennon was murdered outside of his home, 38 years ago, on this date in 1980. #imagine #warchingthewheels #myfavbeatleisGeorgetho https://www.instagram.com/p/BrIbm_bjsh8kvUFDtrjSpbHmk59QvdUROr3j7Y0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8qi37njkizep

77 years ago today one of the greatest storytellers of our time was born. Bob Dylan. I must quote him aloud or to myself at least three times a week when dealing with certain every day nonsense from absolutely miserable people. “I know you’re dissatisfied with your position and your place. Don’t you understand? That’s not my problem!” #positively4thstreet #arethetimesreallychanging? #tangledupinblue #idiotwind #cantbelieveihaventseenhimliveyet

5 years ago today I saw KISS for the very first time. #kissarmy4evah #starchild #firstKISS
