Fifty-word review

Celebration Rock

9.2 out of 10

It’s a hot night in June, and you’re driving down an empty highway about ten mph too fast. Or a July night in a crowded venue and you’re dancing so much you can’t tell if the sweat belongs to you or your neighbor. You yell like hell to the heavens.
