Whenever I hear this question, I pause for a few mental drumbeats. And then my mind instinctively shouts: "I WANNA ROCK!" Anyone else? Twisted Sister's "I Wanna Rock" came out in 1984. I was in second grade and already completely hooked on hair bands. I didn’t know what “rocking” meant exactly but it sounded flashy, energetic and fun. At the time, I was pretty sure it meant becoming an MTV VJ. But eventually, the question got real.
