But the America that Chuck Berry sang of, cars, school, and girls is outmoded. Get out onboard the peoplemover, comrade!
I know what you are saying, and it’s too bad, for America. In my view, Chuck Berry was a genius musically and lyrically. I am amazed at the complexity of the lyrics, like “School Days”, sheer genius. He used words with multiple syllables, used words that one would never expect to hear in a rock and roll song, let alone coming from the mouth of a black man from St. Louis, Missouri.
He is far more influential than Springsteen could ever hope to be, in my view.
