About This Song
About "So You Wanna Be A Rock N Roll Star (Live)" by Roger McGuinn
The Byrds’ iconic send-up of rock stardom gets a live airing, McGuinn’s Rickenbacker jangle as sharp as ever. The irony still bites, but the crowd’s roar adds a layer of affectionate nostalgia. It’s a meta-anthem that now sounds less like a warning and more like a fond, knowing smirk.
