I know everyone goes ga ga over “Don’t Stop Believing” but this was always my personal favorite off this album. Oh, yeah.

Old dusty roads, led to the river
Running slow
She pulled me down, ooh, and in clover
We'd go around, yeah
In the heat with a blue jean girl
Burning love comes once in a lifetime
Oh, the memories never fade away
Golden girl, I'll keep you forever
One of those times Phil Collins played drums on a Robert Plant tune.

Stepped in and shattered my defenses
Just playing hooky with my heart
Slipped through the window by the back door
And took the keys to my poor heart
Yes, my poor heart
Just a Saturday random rocker.

Was watching the Rachel Maddow Show and she was talking to the mayor of Kansas City, Missouri, about the city’s efforts to thwart ICE efforts to establish one its detention centers there. As the segment ended the last thing he said ended up being the latest ear worm.

One of my “Minneapolis tunes” from when I was attending radio-TV broadcast school in 1982-‘83. I picked up the album this tune is on at record shop on Hennepin Avenue back then but only recently discovered this version with a little more to it guitar-wise. Almost looks like my Technics turntable setup and while the gnome is cool, I’d probably have a toy John Deere tractor there instead. 😎 It’s “I’m Leaving,” BTW.

I’ve seen the times to be up
And the times to be down
And the times to take all that you worry about
And Breakout
You Breakout
You walk away from it all with a smile
You Breakout and say the hell with it all for awhile
You Breakout
My sophomore year in high school (‘79-‘80) was when I first became aware of Robin Trower with this album, the title track of which I’d be playing on the radio a few years later (along with much more Trower material) and is the current ear worm.
