      I bought this album when it came out. They played a local bowling alley bar in San Diego circa 1982. Me and the girlfriend went. Their drummer was hittin’ on my GF. 😂 Great show.

    In 1975, Shooting Star played for our high senior class party at a friend's house just outside Kansas City in Stanley, Kansas. It was a night I'll never forget.

  • @TogonzoMedia

    For 40 years, this song tormented me because I heard it in 1984 and when I was 10 years old. Never knew who performed it. Until tonight at work. I was blaring Spotify on my BT speaker and researching the band Honeymoon Suite because I thought they might've have done the song. But my speaker was blaring this Steve Perry like voice singing these sad souring lyrics to a familiar piano melody that sudden dropped into that riff ... And I stared at my disbelief. Opened up Spotify and it showed this album cover. And my 40 years or torment are over! Killer. Freaking. Track. I'm 50 now, and this song is timeless and Shooting Star -- like Missouri and Point Blank -- is sorely underrated. All three bands should be on the rotation of every classic rock station out there! 😍

    Saddest opening of any rock song (0:00-1:30). A classic. I dare you to listen to that over and over and not feel a pain in your heart. If a rock song can be lyrical, that was it.

    unfortunate that bands out of the mid west during this era had little to no chance at "making it". They did have a big following in LA and perhaps opened doors for future great plains bands. Good enough history in rock and roll for me. Thank You Shooting Star. Belton Missouri.

      And 30 years before this song was Louis Mayer @ MGM and Harry Cohn @ Columbia. Most of the good looking women in a 3 Stooges short had to go through Harry Cohn first. It was so well known, industry insiders would go see a new Stooges short at the theater so they would know who Cohn was "interviewing".

    She grew up reading every magazine
    Of rags to riches worlds
    She lost her heart to do the American dream
    Of Hollywood
    She used to dream about love
    Her youth was lived out like on a stage
    She left the boring world she knew at home
    And made her star struck way
    But something there was lost along the road
    To Hollywood
    She used to dream about love
    Her youth was lived out like on a stage
    But these days she hits the strip tonight
    All the names in lights, and the games to play
    She speeds around and drives uptown
    And pulls out all the stops, she'll hit the top someday
    Loves New York and California nights
    And the glamor life of the celluloid stage
    She takes advantage of her long blond hair
    Lord I know it's so damn true
    We used to sit and talk she'd hold my hand
    She'd hold my hand
    She used to love me
    I used to love her gentle ways
    But these days she hits the strip at night
    All the names in lights, and the games to play
    She speeds around and drives uptown
    And pulls out all the stops
    She'll hit the top someday, someday
    She's got the face and the lips and the legs
    That fit mid-America's apple pie ways
    Sells herself to the producer's couch
    Feeling down and out on the streets of L.A.
    And while she's down she's fun to walk on
    Until she's dead, they all wonder why
    The applause is not for her but for the silver screen
    And manufactured dreams to make you cry
    So come on give us one more, come on, one more time
    Before the hitting the bars on the boulevard
    And never fear everyone's a star in Hollywood
    She used to dream about love
    Her youth was lived out like on a stage

    She speeds around and drives uptown
    And pulls out all the stops, she'll hit the top someday
    Loves New York and California nights
    And the glamor life of the celluloid stage
    She takes advantage of her long blond hair
    Lord I know it's so damn true
    We used to sit and talk she'd hold my hand
    She'd hold my hand
    She used to love me
    I used to love her gentle ways
    But these days she hits the strip at night
    All the names in lights, and the games to play
    She speeds around and drives uptown
    And pulls out all the stops
    She'll hit the top someday, someday
    She's got the face and the lips and the legs
    That fit mid-America's apple pie ways
    Sells herself to the producer's couch
    Feeling down and out on the streets of L.A.
    And while she's down she's fun to walk on
    Until she's dead, they all wonder why
    The applause is not for her but for the silver screen
    And manufactured dreams to make you cry
    So come on give us one more, come on, one more time
    Before the hitting the bars on the boulevard
    And never fear everyone's a star in Hollywood
    She used to dream about love
    Her youth was lived out like on a stage
