Hints:A song written and performed by an American rock singer.

In 1985, it became the fifth single released from a 1984 album.

The single peaked at #9 on the Cashbox Top 100 and #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1985.

It was the fifth of a record-tying seven Top 10 hit singles to be released from the album.		The song is a seriocomic tale of a man who now ruefully looks back on his life and those of people he knew during high school.

The lyrics to the first verse are autobiographical, recounting an encounter with a friend in 1973.
Jon Bon Jovi did not play on this song nor in the video.

The video began airing on MTV in mid-June 1985 and went into heavy rotation. The music video received two MTV Video Music Awards nominations, Best Male Video and Best Overall Performance at the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards.
