I don’t disagree 100%, but there are a ton of songs in this thread that aren’t about rock and roll, or are about rock and roll and other things? So Rock & Roll All Night by Kiss is more about rock and roll music than it is about the lifestyle? If we go by WordMan’s 2nd Definition, then I think we’ll need to remove at least half of the suggestions in this thread. Don’t single me out. (Damn, I almost used the rolleyes).
