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.

Todd Rundgren b. June 22, 1948


Somehow, someday,
We need just one victory and we're on our way.
Prayin' for it all day and fightin' for it all night,
Give us just one victory, it will be all right.
