I go way back with this song. My kids were very young at the time...now they're all grown up.

In "Cherry Bomb" there is a line that says, "17 has turned 35"...well, 17 rhymes with my first and last name, so, I use to insert my name in there when I would sing with the song in my car...my kids really thought he was talking about me...for a while.

I really like a lot of his stuff...I fell in love with that fiddle player a long time ago...and I particularly like the part near the end of "Cherry Bomb" (around 4:10) where the 2 girls are dancing.

Whether you think you can or think you can't...you're right!
