1973 was a year to be alive.
Sadly, being born in 1997, I was not able to experience the awesomeness that was the classic rock era.
Ever since I was little, I've been heavily influenced on music by my father, who worked from home, while my mother was always out in some random foreign country for some business meeting.
Listening to classic rock bands have inspired my entire lifestyle, from my clothes, to my attitude, to my outlook on life.
When someone says the word "bands," I don't think of Sleeping With Sirens or Black Veil Brides, none of that whole genre. I think of Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, Stillwater, The Doors, Pink Floyd, and so many more. These are the bands that started a whole new generation for the entirety of the music industry.
Although this happened so, so long ago, I had the opportunity to experience it in 2015, a year where "pop music" dominated the charts. At 18 years old, during the prime of my life, I toured as an undercover groupie, or a "Bandaid," for a classic rock cover band, The Mockingbirds. With them, the youngest member five years older than myself, I discovered more within eight months than the past eight years of my life.
This is my story of coming face-to-face with the hardships and good times that go along with the rock and roll life… only in 2015.
