Why Chuch Berry's 'You Never Can Tell' is the best rock and roll song ever
This song flows like a mississippi steam-boat. It is simple unaffected, joyful, with masters of the genre coming together in superb sympathy.
It tells a story where the word fit in so well with the music that the effect is astonishing; just listen to these lines
'He had a Hi-fi phono and boy did he let it blast' 'He bought a souped up chimney was a cherry-red fifty three'
Note how the final word in each of these lines slides downward meeting superbly the next line- see how perfectlty they fit with the music! Poetry! Sheer demotic poetry from the US of A! I cannot think of any other rock song that has such a perfect intermarriage of words and music And the music swings and you want to dance, and the initial guitar introduction sets the scene of relaxed but driving rock'n'roll, and then the piano comes in driving the rhythm along. Note how Bery segues his words letting his voice fall at just the right pitch to make the impact with the next pitched word. There is simply no artificiality about this record - these are professionals enjoying themselves, disciplined but letting it all rip and swing Here you will find no self-conscious poncy Pink-Floyd type guitar riffs, no playing for effect, no pretentiousness. The tune comes across all those years with a startling originality and freshness. No heavy-metal nonsense here, no androgynous middle-aged druggies playing the guitar with their teeth in clouds of ice smoke. No, This music is sheer joy Even 'Stairway To Heaven' is pretentious guff in comparison, contrived, artificial Rock-God stuff. The Stones? They were the singularly most impressive group of my youth.. I will never foreht the first time I heard 'Satisfaction' in the sweltering heat of Aden. But they learned their trade from the likes of Berry - a master musician playing here at his best.
Come on admit it, you swayed as you listened! You just loved it!

Come on admit it, you swayed as you listened! You just loved it! Joe, I think we get the idea that you really like this one. And, though you make an eloquent plea for us to agree with you, I for one cannot. Its a 12 bar, not an altogether unusual format in '64. What makes this one is the homage paid to honky-tonk and a solid brass section. If you think the Stones were more inventive and creative than the Beatles...... well that says it all.

Berry was great in his day. I like Brown-eyed Handsome Man and (flip side) Too Much Monkey Business. There are so many different kinds of rock music. I loved Van Halen, too, Sadie. They had something special with both DLR and Sammy. I can still listen to them, quite happily. We put up some of their music .. somewhere. fret? Not sure ... might have been elsewhere ...

Love Sammy Hagar..........he performed here when he left Van Halen. Hubby had to work security backstage. Sammy actually jumped on his back. He ended up giving hubby a bunch of his guitar picks.
