John M. Scalzi's Weekend Assignment #166: Rock Out

Weekend Assignment #166: Name the three songs you listen to when you totally want to rock out. Note that they don't actually have to be rock songs -- they can be in any genre whatsoever, and from any era. They just have to be the songs that get you pumped up and ready to go. Extra Credit: And name one song to cool you back down.

Dear John,

I'm going to make this quick – I'm stuck in an era you have neither respect nor interest in. Obviously, there are loads to choose from. Here's just three rockers that come to mind, driving music to get me down the highway a long ways away...

1. Touch of Grey by The Grateful Dead

2. Heavy Fuel by Dire Straits

3. Locomotive Breath by Jethro Tull

Time to cool the jets, zone out, trance back, etc. Wolf Eyes by Paul Winter.

There you have it. Wonderful photos of the Missus the other days – do tell her she is becoming more beautiful with each passing day. Give Athena a spanking, just because, I'm sure she's been up to some mischief or another you didn't hear about while on tour...
