We all know that summer goes by too fast, and the school year is fast approaching. College is a mixture of good times and struggles. It glorifies long nights of partying and avoiding responsibilities, much like rock n’ roll music. This genre of music also addresses the pressures of everyday life, which as college students we are just figuring out. I realize that it is 2017 and music has changed a lot, but many classic rock songs just don’t age and can be applied to many situations. I hope others find this music to be just as relevant as I do. Rock on.
