The selections are Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “What’s Your Name”, Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock and Roll”, James Gang’s “Walk Away”, ZZ Top’s “Sharp Dressed Man” and Pink Floyd’s “Young Lust”. The article links each track to a different part of the dive-bar experience, from a lively Friday night to dressing up and settling in with friends.
