(visuals, record comes down you see Johnny B. Goode Jon: Well you’ve heard that guitar lick a million times. It’s ... Nats Jon: Chuck berry was one of the architect of rock and roll....In a song like Jony B. Godd he’s writing about being a rock star, he’s writing about what a rock star does and certainly he’s putting himself in there but I think he was also creating an american sterotype. new: He’s telling you a lot but it’s just bouncing along, and you’re rocking, and then you go back and you think about what he’s just told you, and he’s created a whole little world in 3 minutes. Nats Jon: Chuck Berry’s big public career starts when he was pushing 30, but what Chuck Berry understood was the the teenage mind. The teenager was being invented in the 50s and chuck berry helped invent it. teenagers were interested in cars and girls, they were not so interested in going to school, they were tired of their parents culture, they wanted to roll over beethoven. So, Berry understood what kinds wanted in a way before they did, he helped create the whole attitude of the American teenager. Nats Jon: Roll over Beethoven was one of his early songs and you can just imagine a kid, a rock n roller, thinking, why am I listening to Beethoven, why are my teachers making me listen to Tchaikovsky? I just wanna rock and roll, he got that sense of generational change.

That chemistry helped invent not only the sound of rock n roll, not only the three chords that we all love, but also the attitude of rock n roll and that’s his biggest legacy.
