Dennis DeYoung was a prophet

[liberaltrucker]

'Rockin' the Paradise" was released in 1981. Penned by Mr DeYoung

So whatcha doin' tonight?
Have you heard that the world's gone crazy?
Young Americans listen when I say there's people puttin' us down
I know they're sayin' that we've gone lazy
To tell you the truth we've all seen better days
Don't need no fast buck lame duck profits for fun
Quick trick plans, take the money and run
We need long term, slow burn, getting it done
And some straight talking, hard working son of a gun.
Whatcha doin' tonight, I got faith in our generation
Let's stick together and futurize our attitudes
I ain't lookin' to fight, but I know with determination
We can challenge the schemers who cheat all the rules

Sound familiar? Dude was ahead of his time, right?



Come on take pride, be wise, spottin' the fools
No more big shots, crackpots bending the rules
A fair shot here for me and for you
Knowing that we can't lose

Here's the video from 1996:

1. His desire to be a Vegas lounge act ruined one of the most promising bands

....from my youth.

They sucked on everything from Paradise Theater on.

from the depth of your mind.
