I heard this song as one of snippets available on my mobile app for Guitar Hero. It's the guitar rifts and rock ballad that I loved about "Simple Man" and then I actually listened to the lyrics and they spoke to me. This is a quintessential song about coming of age young male adulthood. Relishing the past, looking towards the future, and deciding what one wants to be (and making their mama proud). This isn't necessarily my brand of music, but I know what's good when I hear it. It's unfortunate that this is consider a classic rock. This must've been ground breaking when it was first released. Stamp of Approval.
