I hope to make this a Monday morning ritual where I look back to the weekend, and pick the song I enjoyed the most. This weekend it was easy. I wore out The '59 Sound by The Gaslight Anthem. These Jersey rockers are straight out of Eddie And The Cruisers era rock and roll. That may sound like the worst endorsment anyone could ever give, but it really isn't. There is an American nostalgia that pours from them, and '59 is the best example. This is a song about wondering what a friend was listening to on their radio as they died. You can smell the leather jacket and feel your knuckles on the steering wheel. For me, it makes me long for a youth that only exists in James Dean movies.
