Except for your ending solo bit, I strongly disagree. While IORR is definitely RnR, I don't find it sounds a bit like CB. But then I am not familiar with his whole catalogue, so I just might have missed something.
For me IORR is much too progressive, in its construction (bars). Maybe it's the fact that the song lyric chorus (just the chorus - the rest is way too cynical, dark and risque) defends RnR music as a musical preference, just like Berry's ode. But the song as a whole (lyric and music), is on another level entirely.
