      Whether dedicated to Kenny's father or not, the song is not about cancer or alcoholism.
      If you read the lyrics and watch the original video, it's about a married woman having
      an affair and stringing a guy along. He's giving her an ultimatum. THIS IS IT.
      You're going no further, time to decide. It's him or me. Let your friends believe what
      they want. Leave him behind. First verse, "don't wait for some miracle"...Second
      verse, "Here's your miracle, it's ME, dummy". Perfect marriage of lyrics and music.

Shoulda been a waaaaaay bigger hit. So underrated. Never get tired of it. Still sounds great 40 years after it came out. The 49ers played it b4 winning their 1st Super Bowl. Powerful song.

Before Houston had Phi Slamma Jamma Louisville had the Doctors of Dunk!...with Darrel Griffith! They were the first team to use athleticism on the defensive side of the court. They were pinning shots to the backboard! They also won the national championship that year. It's amazing how one song can generate so many memories...
