The Rock

So, what do you do when you are having the breakdown to end all breakdowns? Well, you steal a boat of course, it is what Rory Gilmore did after all. Jimmy gets it into his head that he needs to be out on the sea in a boat, so he steals the first one he sees and drives it out to The Rock. Jimmy is high and drunk and on the way to rock he is singing. Basically he is out of his mind, but is having the time of his life.

When I listen to The Rock the sound of the music really helps me imagine the events that are taking place.  It is another emotionally driven song and I love how the music speaks so loudly that there is no need for lyrics at this point in the story. I also love how Pete Townshend used the two lyric less songs to book end the story; it closes in the breaking points in Jimmy’s life nicely.

Alright, now take a listen to The Rock. I would write more, but time slipped away from me tonight and I really just want to go to bed now. I do think that The Rock is one of the songs that you just need to listen too. Once you know the story it is easy to see what is happening through the music.
