Juke Box Hero

Which was in competition with a thing called the Texas Jam, which had in the '70s...

And, and it was a, it was a big festival, and it was four acts; Louisiana LaRue, followed by Ozzy Osbourne with Randy Rhoads, before Randy Rhoads had died, followed by Loverboy, followed by Foreigner during the tour of their Foreigner 4 album, Juke Box Hero.

Mm-hmm.

Wow.

I give you the, I give you the chance to go back and see one musical guest, alive or dead, that you've never seen.

Who are you gonna see?

I would see The Allman Brothers when Duane is still alive, probably the Fillmore East concert in 1969 when they recorded that album.

Nice.

Yeah

... a rock star, right? Jukebox Hero, you know, those, those types of songs.

And I mean, the video, [laughs] the, I think the video is perfect with, with this song.

The w- you know, showing the life on the road and, and all that stuff.

down inside Staring at your life, paralyzed Living in a

world so cold Wasted away, living Hey! See stuff I can't hate that for me, ooh, yeah Ooh, yeah Oh, darlin' He can't help when he's happy, looks insane Far between all illegal All the same He'll begin his life again Picture the scene Put his ear to the wall And like a distant scream He heard one guitar Just blew him away Saw stars in his eyes And the very next day Bought a beat of six string In a second hand store Didn't know how to play it But he knew for sure Only one way to go So he started rockin' Ain't never gonna stop Gotta keep on rockin' Someday gonna make it to the top And be a jukebox hero You're my hero He'll come alive tonight In a town without a name In a heavy downpour Thought he passed his own shadow By the backstage door He's a jukebox hero.

He put stars in his eyes He's a jukebox hero He put stars in his eyes He's a jukebox hero He put stars in his eyes He's a jukebox hero I spent 20 years trying to get out of this place I was looking for something I couldn't replace I was running away from it I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold I've been there, done that, I ain't looking back on the seeds I've sown Saving times, spending too much time on the telephone You can't go home There's only one place They call me one of their own Just a hometown boy Born a rolling stone Who says you can't go home? Who says you can't go back Been all around the world And as a matter of fact There's only one place left I wanna go could try to find a new face there isn't one of these lines that i would erase lived a million miles of memories on that road every step i take i know that i'm not alone you take the home from the boy but not the boy from his home these are my streets and only i Your hometown boy, born of rolling stone Who says you can't go on? Who says you can't go back? Been all around the world and as a matter of fact There's only one place left out It doesn't matter where you go.

It's a million miles away or just a mile up the road.

Take it in, take it with you when you go.

DJ T-Money here on the cue with Bon Jovi and Jennifer Nettles.

And that's who says you can't go home.

Foreigner with Jukebox Hero, Pearl Jam, and Even Flow.

And-

Jukebox Hero, man.

That was, that was the one since like, one, one thing I wanted to ask you was like, what songs, uh, were you excited to hear live? Or was there anything you were specifically excited for? And the only thing I could think of going into that-

[laughs]

... 'cause otherwise I was just like, "It'll be a good time.

I like listening to all their music.

I like being out with my buddy." Uh, but, but Jukebox Hero at a concert, that was like, so if anybody knows the song, it's about a kid going to be on the outside, you know, fence of a concert hearing the rock playing, you know, standing in the rain.

You know, it's such a good song.

I Want to Know What Love Is.

M- I'm going with Juke Box Hero.

Juke Box Hero.

Box Hero.

Stars in his eyes.

... it's like a, it's, you're going on an actual journey with these people.

[laughs]

Um, anyways, it's, uh, Juke Box Her- Juke Box Hero, great song.

me, it's not.

I mean, yes, but for me, my intro to that band was through my dad, and it was Jukebox Hero.

That was when I first heard Foreigner.

That was what I learned what a jukebox was.

What song was playing on the jukebox?

Jukebox Hero.

To be a jukebox hero.

Hero.

With stars in his eyes.

Stars in his eyes.

I need a jukebox hero.

Now, it, it is not really a jukebox, so I wanna say that.
