First time I heard this song was the Summer of 1981. I was in Basic Training at Ft. Jackson, SC and we had a pass on a Saturday night...... the platoon Sergeants bought a crap ton of beer for us after we had been killin' it for 8 weeks. I was 17 yrs old and was able to drink on base. It was my first time getting hammered...... so much time has passed and so much has happened in 43 years....Wow !

It's just so cool at 4:35 or so when Gary Richrath's holding the note with his left hand while lifting his right hand to "kiss" his pick before launching into those incredible rifts where he's picking those notes like it's the easiest thing in the world to do.

Some people who grew up on this need to listen to lyrics again. This song pretty much vibes with all the changes going on in our society today. It's a shame the rebel rockers of old who raised us to stand up to the establishment are now part of the establishment. This isn't everyone, thankfully, just some that lost their way. We all need to take a piece of this song with us and just keep on rolling with the changes.

Last night 10-12-24 I took my family out to dinner in Naperville, Illinois. Afterwards was walking back to car and a band was playing this song. Awesome. Hadn’t heard that song since I was in middle school back in the 80’s. Even forgot it was REO. Awesome song!! I wanted to stay and hear what else the band was playing but had to get back. I grew up in a time with great music. My kids these days don’t really have “their” music like I did.
