I Want To Be The Boy To Warm Your Mother's Heart (Live at The Aragon Ballroom, July 2, 2003) into Fooled Around and Fell in Love

I Want To Be The Boy To Warm Your Mother's Heart (Live at The Aragon Ballroom, July 2, 2003) by The White Stripes off Elephant (2023) belongs here because David Bowie keeps the emotional pressure steady after Thank You Friends by Big Star and turns the color from 1990s into 2020s.. Fooled Around and Fell in Love is waiting as the answer, so this record is doing more than setting a mood; it is shaping the turn.
