"Let There Be Rock"

"And I'd like to say, 'I'm sorry,' but we lived to tell about it."
Patterson Hood

I can't stop listening to the Drive-by Truckers. It's turning into an obsession. Their lyrics connect with me in basically every one of their songs.

"Let There Be Rock" is basically an autobiography of Patterson Hood's (guitar/vocals) teenage years and how Rock-n-Roll saved his life. And I can truthfully say that if I had never listened to AC/DC's "Live" for the first time, I would not be the person I am today. Rock-n-Roll and music in general has opened my eyes to elements of my life and the world around me that I wouldn't have realized otherwise.

Moving on to the lyrics...

Over the past few months I feel that I have branched out a lot as a person and truly finding my niche. I am almost positive that I know what I want to do with my life and how I am going to do it. The problem I have come to face is that my choice of lifestyle, music, is not always the most profitable. Along those same lines, I might be disappointing certain people in my life. In the end though, I am going to live through it, and I'll be able to tell other people about and to paraphrase Mr. Hood, I'll live on to do a lot more crazy screwed up stuff.
