But there’s always that moment in the party where you have to go to the bathroom and you have to just kick it down for a minute. That’s what this is, this is your kick it down for a minute minute. A chance to breathe, a chance to think, a chance to reflect. On what, you say? What should I reflect on? Why, rock and roll, that’s what you should reflect on. Long live rock and roll, rock and roll. Yeah. It was great, heh heh. It was really great while it lasted, rock and roll. This song is uh, this song is probably a little bit before your time. Uh, we heard this when we were children, back in 1954 and uh, you might uh, know this one but uh, feel free to sing along if you know it. But don’t expend too much energy, there’s more rock to come, you may want to pace yourself. I know James is pacing himself. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. James Iha. (Iha solos) Alright alright. Mother?
