GO. SEE THEM.

(I wasn't too thrilled with "The Last DJ" CD, but that's ok.)

"Runnin' Down a Dream" is my roll-the-windows-down-drive-real-fast-pretend-I'm-a-kid-again theme song. (I'm 46...oh well...)

"Runnin' Down a Dream"

That was on his first solo record but his lead guitarist (Mike Campbell) is playing the stupendous licks

LINK I've long admired Campbell, for the reasons mentioned above. One of his
better known tracks, (although some people may not know he co-wrote it,) is
The Boys of Summer by Don Henley. There was a great sidebar in Guitar Player
years ago that detailed how he got his sound on that track - I've looked but
can't find the issue anymore

Ok, you've convinced me. Next time they are anywhere close, I'm there! I used to have a cassette(what's that?) with "Runnin' Down a Dream" on it and would crank it up as loud as I could in my little old hatchback, but my SUV has CD only, but a total kick a** stereo system in it. I was just looking up the CD on the net yesterday so I can get it...and you're so right, it's also "my roll-the-windows-down-drive-real-fast-pretend-I'm-a-kid-again theme song" but the sunroof has to be open too...gotta let the hair fly all over! LOL

And you're not THAT old...I'll hit 42 Monday.
