Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World

Written by Shar on 22 April 2013

Crazy Horse guitarist Frank “Poncho” Sampredo told Rolling Stone the song “Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World” came together after a show was canceled in the former U.S.S.R.

He also claimed that most of the band didn’t even know the song when it was played for the first time on February 21, 1989, in Seattle. The song was just hours old.

Of course now the song is an American anthem.

“So I spoke to my old friend Bruce and told him I was feeling it, his loss of Clarence. We talked for quite a while, and there is no need to go into what two old friends had to say to each other at this point, except to say that two old friends spoke to each other about their music, their muses, their partners in crime, their proof, their friendship, their souls and their lives. Ben Keith was my Clarence Clemons. Clarence Clemons was Bruce\'s Ben Keith. When he died last year it touched me to the core. I don\'t want to ever think of any one else playing his parts or occupying his space. No one could. I can\'t do those songs again unless it\'s solo. So I told Bruce, \"Waylon once looked at me and said, \'There\'s very few of us left.\'\" He liked that. I told him when he looked to his right I would be there. That\'s enough. I\'m not talking about that anymore.”
