Radar fingers

“We’ll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgment of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song”
– “Won’t Get Fooled Again”
Earlier in the week I mentioned that National Review was listing their picks for the top 50 conservative rock songs of all time. The last one I saw was number three, then I got busy and didn’t check online to see numbers two and one. Then it occurred to me that I haven’t checked the mailbox in a few days, and I probably had the new issue of NR - with all fifty tunes - right there. I grabbed my keys and headed for the box.
Radar fingers. I pulled the magazine out of the mailbox and opened - magically - to page 45. There I saw Pete Townshend in his trademark white boiler suit, with guitar, leaping in the air. The Who — in the top slot. A quick review of the fifty titles and I’m pleased.
The Who, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Sex Pistols, The Kinks, U2, The Pretenders, Paul Revere and the Raiders, The Clash, David Bowie, Oingo Boingo, Joe Jackson, Creedence, The Cranberries, The Proclaimers, Cheap Trick. Very pleased, indeed.
NR rocks.
