Aug 16, 2009 - yes vrgniamailman, I think he is right!!! I always loved this songtoo, but never payed real attention to the lyrics. I have a kind of alcoholproblem (kick), and after founding the lyrics, I played it very often! Sometimes it helps me to make my kick less obviate, Thanks bkpaguy!

Oct 8, 2009 - why is alot of today's music so ugly, nasty, angry and bad?

oranger2525 Says:

Oct 10, 2009 - Really -- better then the Eagles,Chicago, Aerosmith, GnR, Nirvana or CCR? Look, I love PRR,but get real.

oranger2525 Says:

Oct 10, 2009 - because sometimes this is an ugly world., and the artists of today are willing to talk about it.

Oct 14, 2009 - "Kicks" is widely regarded as the first "anti-drug" rock song. Fact.

Oct 14, 2009 - anyone is better than nirvana and gnr

rslitman Says:

Oct 18, 2009 - I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but this song was written by the famous songwriting team of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. They also wrote the Raiders' next hit, "Hungry".

rslitman Says:

Oct 18, 2009 - The Raiders almost always beat the Eagles. It was true on January 25, 1981, it was true 14 years later on September 24, 1995, and it is still true 14 years after that on October 18, 2009 (the date on which this is being posted).

rslitman Says:

Oct 18, 2009 - My post was meant in jest, with a double meaning connected to U.S. football. I don't know how the Raiders stack up against Chicago. Perhaps it bears looking into.

rslitman Says:

Oct 18, 2009 - Also, the Eagles do beat the Raiders sometimes, such as November 30, 1986.

oranger2525 Says:

cinderiffic Says:

Aldebaron9 Says:

violator79 Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - You're also forgetting Creedance Clearwater....THE best band America ever had IMO.

oranger2525 Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - I mentioned them --they are sometimes refered to as CCR. Or as we called them back in the day; "Creedence" They're among the top two or three best /greatest American bands of alltime. With all due respect too PRR.

violator79 Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - Oh yeah I see where you mentioned them. I just overlooked it. My fault. At least you have good taste in music and for that I thank you.
