great song - hippies shut down nuclear power - 28 eight years later we still don't have solar power - so lets burn more coal and oil - maybe we should look at nuclear power again

For those that don't remember (or were not born yet)...
Wikipedia article on Three Mile Island
I lived in Philadelpha, PA at the time (about 100 miles from TMI) and this song got a lot of air play when it came out. Too much, really. I was so sick of this song then. Ah, memories! |

Cheers to Dan Fogelberg. May he rest in peace!
This song "Face the Fire" is even more appropriate today than when it was first released 30 years ago!
Whatever happened to music with a "message" instead of most of what is released now...with no more message than...."where's my ho's" or, "i'm an angry youth cause my parents didn't buy me a BMW".

Dan was often maligned for his "wimp rock", but he put out some real good stuff over ther years. He had Joe Walsh and some of the Eagles on his early works. This tune rocks! RIP, Dan!

Dan, you will be missed! Yes, he defined "soft rock" for whatever it's worth - it got its commercial play on the radio. But I saw him live 3 times and he was amazing! His talents were underappreciated by commercial radio. See what you can do about that, RP.

the only place dan fogelberg ever popped up on my cultural radar was when i was in high school, and denis leary dropped this line in his "no cure for cancer" routine:
Explain it to me. Heavy metal bands on trial because kids commit suicide, what is that about? Judas Priest on trial because my kid bought the records, and he listened to the lyrics, and he go into Satan... ALLALALALALALLALA! Well that's great. That sets a legal precedent. Does that mean I can sue Dan Fogelberg for making me into a pussy in the mid '70s, is that possible, HUH? |

RIP. I think his first 4 LPs and High Country Snows were some of the best ever recorded.

Thanks for playing this Bill. His music had a place in my life when I was young. The song "Leader of the Band" brought tears to my eyes every time.
RIP Dan.

I remember when this tune came out, what a time.....
young , carefree, (somewhat) innocent.....
