I love this track and it has some cool cockpit footage from inside some impassive fighter jets... Might not be your jam in music taste but every time I hear it my body shivers with awesome and I play it full blast...
Interesting fact Russian jets are painted green for the instrument panels to be easier on the eyes...
On this day in music history, 1965 — The Rolling Stones recorded “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.” One of the great riffs in rock history, with Charlie Watts laying down the beat behind it. 🎸🥁

On this day in music history, 1963 — Bob Dylan walked away from The Ed Sullivan Show after CBS reportedly objected to him performing “Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues,” a satirical song aimed at Cold War paranoia and extremism. Rather than change songs, Dylan simply refused and left the show.
Here it is being performed under the alias “Elston Gunnn,” one of Dylan’s obscure early stage names long before the legend fully formed. One of the earliest and most perfectly “Bob being Bob” moments in music history. 🎸😄

This is a damn good version of this classic...
One of the most horrible features of war is that all the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.

On This Day in Music — May 20, 1954 🎸
Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley & His Comets was released on May 20, 1954.
At first, the song was only a modest success. But everything changed in 1955 when it was featured prominently in the opening of the film Blackboard Jungle. The explosive energy of the song — paired with scenes of rebellious teenagers — electrified young audiences and terrified plenty of parents.
Suddenly, rock and roll had arrived.
“Rock Around the Clock” went on to become the first true rock-and-roll song to reach No. 1 on the Billboard charts and helped launch a worldwide youth-culture revolution. Its pounding backbeat and driving rhythm sounded radically different from the polished pop music of the early 1950s.
