"Nadine" #23 5/2/1964 Bonus

From May of '64, the first single for Chuck Berry after he did 20 months in prison for taking a 14-year-old girl across state lines and...well, you know. It wasn't his first incarceration nor his last. He sort of adapted the premise of "Maybelline" for this one. Chuck recently turned 90 and is still out on the road. Anyone on your personal Mt. Rushmore of rock needs to say hi to Chuck Berry, because he's already there.

Taking an "underage" girl from East St. Louis to the outskirts of St. Louis
...a totally purely clinical application of the written law.
