Aggregates industry theme song

There are days when I wake up and think, what the aggregates industry needs is a good theme song. You know, a little tune that represents the industry. Well, little did I know, we've had one for more than 40 years. The song is called Rocks and Gravel, and it was written in the early 1960s by Bob Dylan. Sample lyrics: "Takes rocks and gravel, baby, make a solid road, make a solid road./Takes rocks and gravel, baby, make a solid road, make a solid road./Takes a good woman mama, to satisfy my weary soul." Okay, I'll go for that sentiment. You can hear the song on the newly released CD, Live at the Gaslight, 1962. It's available exclusively at Starbucks, which is great if you need one more cup of coffee for the road. Your comment?
