The Best Saxophone scene in movies was in “THE LOST BOYS” with the sax player of Tina Turner...

The spoofs and memes of it were funny too.

I wouldn’t call those rock songs. Well, maybe the R ‘n R HOF would.

And Monica Lewinsky plays a great skin flute... But she never finishes up... Always spitting the last of it out.

Great song. I like the way the instrumental transitions from acoustic guitar to electric, then the sax comes in to take over. Billy Joel has a few, Big Shot, You May Be Right, etc.

Rock would not be the same without a sax solo.

Wasn’t there a new term called the “Baker Street Effect” after Gerry Rafferty’s hit “Baker Street”?

Just listened to it. It was great! Thanks for the link.
Also, Terry Kath’s voice was amazing, as was his guitar playing.
