      Do you guys now own the master or does Unidisc in Canada/Sony in the US still own the master?

      I was born in 1970, and this has been one of my favourite songs since I can remember. I think it was on the Roadie movie soundtrack. That whole soundtrack changed my life, but I've never seen the movie.

    My father met these guys at our local Legion way back in the 80's and they asked him to bring his family to the concert that night. We had stage seats and saw the entire performance. I was a young guy but my big sister went to the local pubs with them that night. With my fathers permission. She said they where the perfect dates ( all of them) and when she wanted to go home they all walked he out of the pub and put her into the taxi for her trip home. Today I still wish I was 2 years older so I could have gone along to the pub.

    You know,. I started drinking around this era and it was an era that the drunker you got, the bigger the joke it was. TV shows made light of drinking and being drunk. I'm now sober 18 yrs but it was this era and societies view on drinking that contributed to my alcoholic bottom. I'm not blaming the time for my drinking problem. I just went on a lot longer than I would have if being drunk was looked at then like it is today.

    They stole the police chief cop car and cut down his trees at 3am!
    The track meet on main street lead to 90 day's!
    They got out and did it again!
    My aunts and my grandma was pissed off.
