May 5, 2023 - I'm 57 years old, playing businessman, in my office on the 72nd floor of One World Trade Center in NYC. I'm married, 1 kid, and living in NYC for 30+ years, and then, I hear this song, and my heart stops: my mind takes me back to John Marshall High School Oklahoma City, around '82/'83. Testerone running out of control, walking down the hallways falling in love every 5 seconds, going to dances, or driving in someone's car who just got their driver's license, and you feel INVINCIBLE. Man, this song takes me back. Makes me feel 17 again. God bless Tulsa's hometown Heroes. You gotta LOVE The Gap Band!

[@federicodainotta3140]

​@@rnhor4924There was a terrible decadence in this generation. The music nowadays has too much autotune and the singers don't have a good voice (some don't even have that). They all sound very similar. I'm telling you that I'm 32 years old, I'm not from the 80's, even comparing bands from the early 2000's with those of today there is a lot of difference. The cultural decadence in music is undeniable.

It's not the artists, it's the execs. They are gatekeeping the means of production.

[@ladydivine8615]

Too many evil forces controlling and industry.

[@PeterSpaeter96]

Well, I like this song, too. But the lyrics, to be honest, seem a bit silly and bland to me. In quintessence: 'you left me (and only then I realized that I really loved you), therefor now I have to find another lover'.

[@SpaceGhost999]

Just one tassel on their jumpsuit has more soul than the entire modern music industry combined. Everyone on that stage is having the time of their life. Dudes just back there casually playing the drums with firesticks. The background singers are all smiles, and hitting every move perfectly. These type of old performances almost bring a tear to my eye because the passion just pours out of them

Mexican born but in CA since the age of 5, now 55 and grew up with this. I continue playing this song mostly every Friday for a friend I met when I was 12 and passed away before he reached 18- He loved this song so I come by now anf then but only Fridays and play this song for him. In fact, just finished playing it. Am parked at the Gonzales Ca cemetery and his resting place is just 50 feet away-

[@ericwalker8775]

That's cool man. Great way to keep his memory alive. His energy and spirit is in the ❤ groove brother.

Believe that those souls in that cemetery are uniting every Friday dancing to this bc of you. May the great I_AM continue to bless you with more strength and life to continue it
