Sung by this man, Freedom Rock is an important song in the development of my musical ideology. Though it’s kind of libertarian (a political phase I’ve yet to go through), it was an early mix regular in those post-Napster days when I was just starting to horde songs. It had a lot to do with my friendship with AJ. But I don’t know in what way.

Frank Black - Freedom Rock (buy)

UPDATE: Looking at the lyrics of the song, specifically, the one that says “it’s clear” that “nobody owns the pleasures of tones,” my above libertarian description was off the mark. Frank Black is just a freedom lover and freedom loving isn’t exclusive to libertarians.
