Earn It!

Not every band here is American. Priest is from Birmingham, AC/DC hauled in from Australia, and Bon Jovi is from New Jersey which some days feels like a separate country. Doesn't matter. This American rock pick is about the feeling, not the passport - the belief that where you start doesn't determine where you finish, and nobody gets to the top without earning it. Same one my mother had when she told me they became citizens so I could be president if I wanted to. Nobody said I had to. Just that nothing was stopping me. That's the whole point of the next 78 minutes.
