Van Halen - Running With the Devil

The Archies Sugar Sugar i dare you to listen all the way through and then try to get the tune out of your head. It has been rattling around in the large empty spaces of my brain for 47 years.

Love me some Reggie and Moose (not pictured)

Stood there boldly

Sweatin' in the sun

Felt like a million

Felt like number one

The height of summer

I'd never felt that strong

Like a rock

I was eighteen

Didn't have a care

Working for peanuts

Not a dime to spare

But I was lean and

Solid everywhere

Like a rock

My hands were steady

My eyes were clear and bright

My walk had purpose

My steps were quick and light

And I held firmly

To what I felt was right

Like a rock

Like a rock, I was strong as I could be

Like a rock, nothin' ever got to me

Like a rock, I was something to see

Like a rock

And I stood arrow straight

Unencumbered by the weight

Of all these hustlers and their schemes

I stood proud, I stood tall

High above it all

I still believed in my dreams

Twenty years now

Where'd they go?

Twenty years

I don't know

Sit and I wonder sometimes

Where they've gone

And sometimes late at night

When I'm bathed in the firelight

The moon comes callin' a ghostly white

And I recall

I recall

Like a rock. standin' arrow straight

Like a rock, chargin' from the gate

Like a rock, carryin' the weight

Like a rock

Like a rock, the sun upon my skin

Like a rock, hard against the wind

Like a rock, I see myself again

Like a rock

Childhood living

Is easy to do

The things you wanted

I bought them for you

This song and anything Stevie Nicks or Fleetwood Mac but this one....... wild horses takes the cake.

Stood there boldly
Sweatin' in the sun
Felt like a million
Felt like number one
The height of summer
I'd never felt that strong
Like a rock

I was eighteen
Didn't have a care
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
But I was lean and
Solid everywhere
Like a rock

My hands were steady
My eyes were clear and bright
My walk had purpose
My steps were quick and light
And I held firmly
To what I felt was right
Like a rock

Like a rock, I was strong as I could be
Like a rock, nothin' ever got to me
Like a rock, I was something to see
Like a rock

And I stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams

Twenty years now
Where'd they go?
Twenty years
I don't know
Sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone

And sometimes late at night
When I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
And I recall
I recall

Like a rock. standin' arrow straight
Like a rock, chargin' from the gate
Like a rock, carryin' the weight
Like a rock

Like a rock, the sun upon my skin
Like a rock, hard against the wind
Like a rock, I see myself again
Like a rock

Great song but a bit too mournful. Prefer this one from Mr. Seger. With a young Matt LeBlanc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgOA24hAe60

AC/DC "You shook me all night long." I loved the line,.........."Knocking me out with those American thighs" So dam sexy.

Barbra Streisand: People. Stoney End. Loved her from the beginning.

The Cars - Just What I Needed

Was that their first single? At any rate, I loved their first album. It's genius. And I was living in the Boston area at the time.

The Doors, "Light My Fire" (RIP, Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek)

Jefferson Airplane, "Somebody to Love," Woodstock version

Renaissance, "Prologue" - not my favorite song of theirs, but probably the first one I heard.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzAmqbpD4QA

I'm more of a CSNY fan myself.

JayCeeKy · May 15, 2016

In my third year of college my roommate introduced me to the music of Leonard Cohen. When I first heard "Suzanne" I was hooked.

Thanks QTR. Wonderful memories came rushing back. Jefferson Airplane "Somebody to Love" and I could add the Doors "LA Woman" and "Light My Fire"
