Chuck Berry | Pink Floyd | WALKER | Chicago | Tokyo
Ready To Rock?
by
Jim ShahinMost Overrated Band: Pink Floyd. Hello. Hellooo. Hellooo. Is anybody in there who knows how to rock??? Pretension as an art form.
Most Underrated Band: T-Bone Walker. Okay, A.) he’s not a band, and B.) he may not even be rock-and-roll. But his early 1950s big band/R&B/Chuck Berry licks, before
Chuck Berry ever even recorded, was carrying the baby that would be adopted and raised by others.
PHEEEW. YAAAAAY. [OCEANIC SOUND OF ENORMOUS APPLAUSE.]
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Man, I’ll tell ya, it’s great to be back in
Chicago. And
Tokyo. And
Santiago. Or wherever you are right now.
You’ve been a wonderful audience.
