Both Jenny and Selina were later murdered by a brutal murderous mini cult called the Children of Thunder along with Jenny's boyfriend and a senior couple. A lot of people thought that the singer Mickey was Elvin. Great song with a sad history tied to it.

      And I agree with the above comment!
      I'm sorry to hear about what happened to Elvin Bishop's ex-wife and daughter!
      My own daughter is involved in an online chat every day, and in some ways this chat has control of her mind, somewhat cult-like.
      The leader is a young man from LA, and he is good looking and charming, and he has a way of manipulating everybody, and living in their heads rent-free!
      He has such control of all the members, that they all, (including my daughter), feel obligated to be present each day, and if they can't, or don't show up, then he makes them feel obligated to let him or others know why.
      I keep telling her that this sounds like a type of cult, and that she'll have to be de-programmed to get free of this!!

    I used to stare at her alot, and watch her drive. I admired her, and I wanted to be like her when I grew up. This song played on the radio, as she made driving a car look easy and effortless. We didn't have much to worry or stress about in the seventies.

    I saw Elvin Bishop in 2005 at the Santa Cruz County fairgrounds in Watsonville California. The old boy was still cranking out the tunes but Mickey was long gone.

    Elvin is one of the finest guitar players ever and way under-rated. What an incredible journey sir.

    I never knew until just right now when I read in the description that Mickey Thomas sings this song 😱😱😱😱 Got to see him and Starship back when their song We Built This City was released . He has such an awesome voice .......

      I agree Sandra. When this was a hit, I was dating a young lady in Jacksonville NC, I was stationed at Camp LeJeune, NC. Well she broke up with me and I was heartbroken. After that I did NOT fall in love UNTIL a Blind Date on Leap Year Evening 29 Feb 80. We fell in love and on 21 Mar 21, we will be celebrating our 40th Anniversary. Almost unheard of for Baby Boomers. Most of my friends have been married 3, 4, 5 times. Stay safe and Semper Fi from Charleston, West Virginia.

      @@conniebetser2925 I agree 100% Connie. If the "Time Machine" becomes a means of transportation, I'm headed back to 1973 - 1977; that's when I was in the United States Marine Corps and listened to music all the time. Great times, Great friends and Great Marine Corps. Semper Fi

    Didn't know until recently that it wasn't Elvin singing this great song. He wrote it and plays guitar. Even more shocking was finding out in the middle eighties, the group Chicago, after Peter Cetera left, was actually talking to the singer of this song to possibly come and join the group!

    Great song. I was born the year this came out so I was too young to appreciate it. And only recently I've become aware of it. I've heard it before probably on some soundtrack for movies or on TV but never really appreciated it. Glad I do now. They just don't make music like this anymore

    After first hearing this song in 1976, not long after moving to Germany, I always thought Elvin Bishop sang it.
    Here it is, March 11, 2023 and I not only find out Micky Thomas sang it, but that he is the singer for Jefferson Airplane/Starship n Starship...I mean like what the freak? 🤯

    I have to admit I didn’t really appreciate just how good they were. I saw them live in San Jose years ago. I’d pay big bucks to see them again
