Hi,



    Thank you all for giving me those reponses to "rock n roll." As

Rudy Troike suggested, I called my classmate and asked him what he meant by

"rock n roll." He gave me the answer, "That's right. Let's do it." Indeed,

he expressed his positive attitude and excitement by using this slang.



    I think Erick Byrd has a good comment on this phrase. It is

interesting to know that rock n roll music indicates the feeling of "letting

go" of all inhibition. As a foreigner with different cultural background,

I did not realized this until Erick pointed it out.
