Coming up, an interview with the two principles from hard rock arena band Night Ranger. the band ruled 80s rock radio and here Professor of Rock interviews lead singer Jack Blades and drummer/singer Kelly Keagy as they shared the story behind one of the catchiest, raise your fist in the air, sing it to the top of your lungs rockers of 1984… the #1 classic Sister Christian. I don’t know if it’s illegal to turn the station when this song comes on the radio, but it should be. It all came from a misheard lyric. Drummer wrote it about his sister Christy and lead singer Jacke Blades misheard the lyric and begged him to change it to the lyric he misheard Sister Christian… Then the session was so rough the band had to play it over 100 times and drummer Kelly Keagy was so pissed he chucked the drumsticks at the producer. Well, this drummer actually ended up singing the song even though Jack Blades was the regular lead singer and it ended up being their biggest hit. The back story of what brought the character to life in this classic… it’s based on a real person. Next on Professor of Rock.

For any true blue child of the 80s, if I happen to say the word Motorin, You say… What’s your price for flight. …I’m of course talking about the Chorus of the all-time classic rock song Sister Christian from the one and only Night Ranger. This song was my go-to as a kid. Whenever it came on the radio it just put a quarter in me and I was banging my head, raising my fist singing. no Yelling the words full throttle. I’m a non-violent person, I’ don’t ever start fights… however, the only time I ever instigated a fight with my little brother. was over this song.

We were riding in the cab of my dad’s pick up and this song came blasting on the radio and my brother punched the little metal button in to change the station and I punched him in the throat and changed it back. I berated him. Screaming it’s against the law to change the station when Sister Christian is on. I was and still am completely serious. If you don’t like this song You hate babies and kittens and Happiness and joy. Because that’s what this song is… It’s pure and unadulterated joy. It’s the musical equivalent of Jolt Cola.

Night Ranger formed in San Francisco Their origin can be traced toRubicona pop/funk group led by Jerry Martini, who was once a part of Sly and the Family Stone. After Rubicon's demise in 1979, bassist Jack Blades put together a trio with Kelly Keagy and Brad Gillis.
