      What is the subject of the song? Bad?! Why bad? A motor scooter, is like a Vespa, the old Italian machine with a 150 cc 2 stroke engine?
      How and why would a young American farm boy own an old Italian fashion machine, that would be seen outside a cafe or such?

      Same here. I was a 90's kid and had heard this for years on the FM radio stations, but for whatever reason I never knew much of anything about Montrose except that this featured Sammy. I just assumed this was from the 80's, because it honestly sounds like it could be.
      Upon finally doing some research on them last year, I was really surprised to find out that this song/album was that old...especially with me always having been interested in the early bands of heavy metal and hard rock from a young age. Rock music has been around for a good while with lots of history/stories, so you can't really know it all unless your an absolute rock history freak or something. Once in a while you learn something new and interesting.

      I had the pleasure to meet Mr. Montrose in the mid-80s when he was playing at a venue in San Diego. Some three or four years earlier, I saw Sammy play in Casper, Wyo. I didn't get to meet Mr. Hagar but he did spit in my face. It's kind of funny because most people don't spit in my face until after they get to know me. (It was actually nothing malicious and in hindsight, I probably could have gotten beautiful ladies to pay me to lick off the spittle. Doh!)

    Went to watch status quo in manchester uk in early 70s. Montrose were the support group. I became a fan after one song. Ronnie and sammy were brilliant. I went to watch quo but came out a montrose fan as well.

      No. Chicago (Chicago Transit Authority) was selling out large venues for a few years before Montrose came onto the scene. I love Montrose, but they were not "the first."
      In fact, Chicago were treated like Rock Gods in Europe BEFORE they made it big here in the US.
      Everyone thinks of Chicago as a "ballad" band. Check out some of their early live shows on UA-cam, Terry Kath is still one of the most criminally underrated guitar players on those "top 100 guitar players" lists.
      This is from 1970:

Sammy Haggar strutted around like he was Robert Plant. What a amazing show and the place was barely filled.
