The bass solo from “The Chain” by Fleetwood Mac.

I’ve been watching old Formula 1 races from 1989 and the BBC used it as the theme song for their F1 coverage, so it’s been stuck in my head.

After reading this I had to crank that song in my bedroom as I was folding laundry.

Ended up with 14 y/o coming in saying “What’s that?”, 9 y/o dancing in front of the TV, and the 3 y/o bouncing on the bed yelling “YEAH! Rock and roll!!”

So thanks. I needed that today 🙂
