Day #18: 30 Day Challenge, Music-Style...Highway To Hell
We're rockin' out today...after recent songs from Jimmy Buffett, Dionne Warwick (and yes, a classic Rush song in Limelight), I turn the amp up to 10 today and send the music of AC/DC throughout the neighborhood. Today's Day #18: 30 Day Challenge, Music-Style... missive has us at the letter N, and is a tribute to AC/DC's Highway to Hell (words and music Angus Young, Malcom Young and the late Bon Scott).
In a way, the words of this 30-year-old song ring true today- offering a description of today's U.S. government that the band could hardly have envisioned...
"No stop signs, speed limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Living easy, living free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too
I'm on the highway to hell"
I bounced back and forth between this and You Shook Me All Night Long when making my AC/DC choice- go with this one that's the last hit lead singer Bon Scott belted out or go with You Shook Me that's the first hit current front-man Brian Johnson led on? Either way, I couldn't miss.
Please forgive me, fellow AC/DC fans- for my having placed the lyric portions out of order a bit- but I had to do it for my theme and all!
The more important lesson to be spoken of today, though, is that we need to keep the pressure on our governments- local, state and federal. We need to remind those we've elected to represent us that there is no living free- and we don't need to go where the season ticket on a one-way ride could be taking us.
