    Got to cruise the mountains yesterday with my dad who is fighting cancer at 63.. this has always been one of his favorite songs and bands. I was almost in tears getting to sing it with him one more time for sure.

      I was 63 last year when I was diagnosed with cancer. Fortunately it was non-invasive, the surgery was successful, I have had no recurrence or spread of malignancy, my treatment has been straightforward and bearable, and my prognosis is good.
      Be assured that your Dad deeply appreciates you and any siblings you may have, and considers himself deeply lucky to have created another generation to follow him. You are his legacy.
      I have no kids myself, and I'm fine with it. My choice. I've had a big wakeup call going forward. In an odd kind of way, I'm grateful for it. Cancer is a bitch, but it's pervasive and to some degree inevitable. 40% or more of us will get some form of it. The only answer to this fact is to live mindfully, kindly, realistically and proactively. Avoid what limits your understanding and wastes your time, and LIVE. Best of luck to you.

      I'm 63 this year and I've been rocking out to bed company as long as I can remember it's Dick's Journey Kansas Zeppelin Eddie Money Eagles Styx Kansas Foreigner. There's more that I can not remember at this point but the list goes on and on and on all awesome rock and rollers Paul Rodgers is the one of the best for the lead singer I've heard some of the other guys they do a pretty good job but he's the original from what I remember God bless him and God bless you all keep up the good work guys keep rocking and rolling in 2024. I will to the day I die. And remember they all said that rock and roll was just a fad well apparently the fads been around for about 60 plus years. Yippee skippy dippy LOL😊😊😊

    As much as I love this song it's always so hard listening to it. My brother died from injuries sustained in a car wreck, I was only 14, he was just 18. He used to play guitar. The part that always gets me crying is "Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day, if you listen to the wind you can still hear him play..." Not a day goes by that I don't miss him, it's been 39 years.

      @@tcbrison6592 I would really like to do that. When I was a teenager I had this recurring dream, dozens of times, of being old. Long gray hair and beard. Each dream was exactly the same. I was sitting in an old cane back rocking chair, on a shaded, field stone & concrete front porch, enjoying an amazingly cool breeze, smoking blunts, drinking beer, and telling old stories to the neighborhood kids. But, it was just a dream. Kids now don’t want to hear from old people. (Truth being told, I’m not sure they ever really have).
      My heart aches for the kids and young adults of the modern western world today. They have no imagination. Theirs is given to them, thrown at them, by everyone else through tv, electronic games, the internet, society, and all their “smart” devices. Their “experiences” and “life lessons” aren’t their own. They’ll never know what it’s really like to experience the amazing smell and taste of honeysuckle deep in the woods. Building forts and treehouses. How to catch fish in a small stream using paper clip hooks, cotton string, and bread for bait. Snapping green beans, shelling peas, itching like crazy after picking corn and okra. Having a “pet” cow. Flying June-bugs on a string, or filling a mason jar with lightening bugs. How awesome a piece of Wrigley’s spearmint gum tastes just to be quiet & still in church. How great just churned peach ice cream is even when it feels like your arm may fall off. The pain of the first blisters of the summer on bare feet, and then again a few months later when trying to put on & wear shoes when school starts back. In-neighborhood, or vs another neighborhood football & baseball games. Kick the can until dark-thirty and the Mom calls to come home uses both first & middle names. These memories and thousands of others filled, and were, my childhood, and will be unknown to current and future generations.
      Maybe when, or if, I get a few years older my “story telling” dream will come true.

But I’m content that it was me and not anyone else in my family. In the last couple years I’ve lost two lady friends that were very special to me as a result of that shyt. It certainly does not discriminate who it attacks. Good Day to You.

    My name is actually John, and i am a musician. My mom, who abused me and is a crackhead, used to play this song and tell me it reminded her of me whenever she hears it. She used to sing it out loud and tear up everytime it came on. Thats really the only good memory, or real emotion i ever felt or have of her .

      Your comment popped up yesterday, i read it , liked it and listened to this song. I kid you not, all bs aside, after nearly 5 yrs of no contact i got a message 2 hrs later on fb from my lil brother asking for my number. When i gave it to him, i got a call 20 mins later. It was my mother. She got a lawsuit settlement recently , and said she wanted to do w.e she could to help me right now because she feels so guilty about not being around when i needed her growing up. This is literally the first thing my mother has genuienly done for me in 34 years of life.
      If im lying bout this story may God strike me down right after. Whoever you are, your message/prayer is definetley in tune with God himself! Thank you and i pray you are as blessed as can be as well!!

    Johnny was a schoolboy
    When he heard his first Beatles song
    "Love Me Do", I think it was
    And from there, it didn't take him long
    Got himself a guitar
    Used to play every night
    Now he's in a rock and roll outfit
    And everything's all right
    Don't ya know
    Johnny told his mama
    Hey, mama, I'm going away
    I'm gonna hit the big time
    Gonna be a big star someday
    Mama came to the door
    With a teardrop in her eye
    Johnny said, "don't cry, mama"
    "Smile and wave goodbye"
    Don't you know (yeah, yeah)
    Don't you know
    That you are a shooting star
    Don't you know, don't you know
    Don't you know that you are
    A shooting star
    And all the world will love you
    Just as long, as long as you are
    Johnny made a record
    Went straight up to number one
    Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing his song
    Watching the world go by
    Surprising it goes so fast
    Johnny looked around him and said
    "Well, I made the big time at last"
    Don't you know
    Don't you know
    Don't you know
    That you are a shooting star

    Johnny died one night
    Died in his bed
    Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets
    By his head
    Johnny's life passed him by
    Like a warm summer day
    If you listen to the wind
    You can still hear him play
