    This is a perfect rock song. Keep in mind, I was around when Boston and Kiss were new. The lyrics are evocative and provocative, sung melodically. The guitar has great melody and proper crunchy distortion. The rhythm section is pounding. Perfect arrangement and mixing. This is as good as rock and roll gets.
