Funky Rock Jam of the Day: "Free Ride" by Edgar Winter

When it comes to rock jams on the funky side, this one is my favorite hands down. I especially love the breakdown where it sounds like a space ship taking off. Give it for this jam dammitt!

There was a movie I saw a few years ago that was set during the 1970s and was about teenage boys. They were riding around in cars, going to parties, drinking, and hanging out in an empty football field. One of the guys was younger and some older guys used to follow him around with a paddle until he hid on a roof of a pool hall and threw a bucket of paint on them. Is that the movie you are referring to?

I heard "Free Ride" last weekend in the movie "Radio" starring Cuba Gooding, Jr. It was on the FX Network.

I didn't care for their version.

It's an excellent movie that takes place on the last day of school in 1976.It's sorta like 'American Graffiti' but set in the 70s.Interestingly,this film features two actors who would go on to become superstars: Ben Affleck and Matthew McConaughey,both of whom established themselves as credible actors.

I think their version is okay,but it can't compete with the original.
