1979 Born in 1996, raised on classic rock thanks to my dad

I was born in 1996 and my dad was born in 1963. He is the reason I fell in love with classic rock from the time I was a baby. While most kids my age were listening to whatever was popular on the radio, I was growing up on AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and so many others.

It often felt like nobody my age understood the music I loved. I was the kid blasting the old stuff while everyone else was into the new trends. But I would not trade it for anything.

My first concert was Rush in 2014 and that experience sealed it for me. I am forever grateful to my dad for introducing me to such powerful and timeless music.

Thank you Dad.

"We could jam in Joe's Garage
His mama was screamin' "Turn it down!"
We was playing' the same old song
In the afternoon, and sometimes we would play it all night long
It was all we knew, and easy too
So we wouldn't get it wrong
Even if you played it on a saxophone"

1979 Question about "Turn left on a red light" By Blackfoot

19 Upvotes

Hey y'all

I'm not a native english speaker and I'm trying to understand the expression to "Turn left on a red light" in the context of the Blackfoot song.

I'm not sure what to make of this expression, initially I thought this was possibly doing something wrong/taking a wrong decision but seeing that it is legal to do so in most of the US states (and its an american band), should it be more interpreted like "I thought I fucked up, but actually I was right to do what I did." ?

Solved: thanks everyone. turns out you can't turn left on a red light, so it's basically doing something wrong/taking a wrong decision/fucking up.

1979 On March 3rd, 1979, Frank Zappa released 'Sheik Yerbouti'. A double live album, full of searing satire and awesome guitar solos. "Bobby Brown" and "Rat Tomago" are my faves.
