That's how it originated. In conjunction with Foreigner's "Jukebox Hero" musical, the band has launched a fan search to find the young kid who was invited backstage all those years ago. The website states that "Foreigner's Jukebox Hero went above and beyond, standing in the rain for hours to see his favourite band. General Comment The song's the story of a Jukebox Hero.
He's standing outside, couldn't get a ticket but wanted to experience the show so badly he stands in the rain to listen from outside. The very next day he buys a beat-up six string guitar from a pawn shop, and the kid can feel his destiny in his hands when he holds it.
So he started rockin mateo - there's where it says he actually plays the guitar. Much later in his life, when he's made it big, he thought he PASSED his own shadow not "cast" on his way in the backstage door - another kid, from the middle of nowhere, standing in the rain to hear some real rock.
He flashes back to that fateful day in the rain in which he realized what he wanted to do with his day. And now he needs to keep rocking to stay on top and keep his dream which he is now living alive. General Comment This song is fun, classic, and awesome. General Comment hey, let him think what he wants.
He did, after all, say "To him" it was about that. Atomsk on December 31, Link. General Comment To me, this song is one long metaphor about being down about anything in your life.

Never Look Back Warren Zeiders. Slow Down Summer Thomas Rhett. Damn Strait Scotty McCreery. Love Is Real Morgan Evans. Would be kind of cool [to find him]. How do you start on a project like this? Do you say, "Here is our catalog"? Did you talk to them about what the lyrics were about? Jones : I had known Dick, and Ian was a personal friend of mine. We got into the songs a bit, trying to build the big picture of where it was going and what the story would try and portray.
It wasn't the verbatim story from the song. It was taken into another area. It felt in some way that it really represented us and they were sensitive to that.
I knew them quite well and socially and they'd known me. Do you like musicals? The rock world and the musical theater world are quite separate. Jones : I go occasionally. I went to see Rock of Ages ; there was something about it that exaggerated too much, trying to get reactions. Gramm : I saw that too. I saw Phantom [ of the Opera ] and it was spectacular. Did you have parameters? Don't make our songs too "show tuney. Jones: Yes or the interpretation of the actor who is singing.
All those things go into account. I'm sure as [the show] proceeds — and hopefully it gets a life of its own — that will develop even more. There's quite a lot of dialogue in it too. The music is the principal. Mick, you were born in Portsmout [UK], which was an industrial town and naval port.
Sting has his musical out now in Toronto, The Last Ship, about the demise of the shipbuilding industry. Does the story of a dying steel factory resonate with you and your family background?
Jones : Yeah, a lot of my family were working class people. And I keep aware of things. I see what's happening in America, for example, what's happening all over the world.
There's a tremendous amount of unemployment and nobody seems to have the answer to it. You've got people that have worked 35, 40 years in the job that is their family, and suddenly it's torn apart at that point in their lives when they deserve to be enjoying it. They're victims of corporate greed, the whole capitalist corporate thing that we live in.
We've never been a political band. We've never written protest songs [but] I think it's important. Jones : There's been song additions.
