Jerry Lee Lewis b. September 29, 1935

Forty twenty-five, forty ninety-eight
I threw a rock'n'roll party on my last birthday
And it was good, rockin' my life away
I been a movin' and a groovin'
And gettin' it both night and day

Bruce Springsteen b.September 23, 1949

I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396,
Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor.
She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot,
Outside the Seven-Eleven store.
Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
And he rides with me from town to town.
We only run for the money, got no strings attached,
We shut 'em up and then we shut 'em down.
    - "Racing in the Street" B.Springsteen 1978

Joe Perry b. September 10, 1950

When you're low down and dirty
From walkin' the street
With your old hurdy gurdy
No one to meet
Said, love ain't the same
On the south side of town
You could look
But you ain't gonna find it around

It's the same old story
Same old song & dance, my friend.
  -"Same Old Song & Dance"
