Sometimes I feel like I'm alone there, but Manfred Mann, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, even come early REO Speedwagon just turns my crank!! I play guitar in a few bands and the keys add SO MUCH!

    This is my Dad’s favorite song, and ALMOST every time I hear it I start to cry thinking about, playing this song at this funeral. And he knows all the lyrics to this song, and he may not be the best singer in the whole wide world. But when I see the blue eyes on the man that raised me sing this with his eyes watering, it means something. Has the same effect or even more powerful effect of my mom singing a lullaby to me.

      Manfred Mann didn't write this song Bruce Springsteen did. Once he started coving his own song this one lost air time unless requested. It's about Springsteen's younger days night racing hot rods. The Duece was his Duesenberg he revved up it's engine and it was his hot rod of choice "his runner in the night" (night race). It's not popular today because most younger people don't know about the Jersey Shore lifestyle around the strips near the boardwalks with their Merry go Round. One bad car crash and the Calliope (Merry go Round) crashed on to the ground because he got blinded by the lights (doing 80 mph's at the boardwalk). Back in the days it made sense but today that lifestyle is history and so is this song as far as topping charts anymore
