If I could ever travel back in time and had only one trip, I would definitely go at Live Aid.

This was “Our” Woodstock. Gen X. However we weren’t protesting anything. Just expressing life and embracing it.

Listened to this when I was 35 years old. Now I'm nearly 70 years old . Still sounds good!!!! Greg and Ms. Echo...

True story: I was in the crowd here at age 17, and this song was our senior prom theme only a few months earlier. I was pretty sick of this song by this time, but looking back 35 years later today, it was a pretty damn cool piece of my life.

This band is very underrated in my eyes. In my mind they were one of the better bands of the 80s . Lots of good songs and memories.

That guy playing the guitar, I think is one of the greatest guitar players that ever lived.

I was born in 1959 so I was a teenager during the 1970's, what a fantastic time to be alive in America with the greatest music in the world!

The 70's and 80's were blessed with excellent musicians. After all these years their music is still in our lives.

This is just about the perfect example of a power ballad, beautifully composed and sung.

I'll be 65 in a few months. Great songs like this serve as mileage markers along my life's journey. They conjure up a place, a person, a feeling. And I am reminded that I can't get back there. But with music come memories, and I am transported back in time in my mind.

You know, this song has become such a staple and classic, most people have heard it. However, I’m not sure people really listen to the lyrics closely. “You’re a candle in the window on a cold dark winters night” is an absolutely BRILLIANT line.
