THE JAGUAR AND THE THUNDERBIRD

Fast cars and fast women: that's where rock n roll started and that is where it remains today. The very phraserock n roll is a description of how automobiles sway from side to side as they go screaming down the highway. From Chuck Berrys many songs about cars (˜Maybelline,The Jaguar And The Thunderbird,You Cant Catch Me,No Money Down) to the Beach Boys ("Little Deuce Coupe,Fun, Fun, Fun,Shut Down,") to Bruce Springsteen ("Thunder Road, "Born To Run,Cadillac Ranch,Stolen Car,Drive All Night,The Wreck On The Highway) the automobile and the escape it offers are inextricably woven into the fabric of rock n roll songs, names of groups, and the real-life escapades and tragedies of the people who wrote and sang hit after hit across the last three decades.
