I was 10 when this was a hit. This song really sums up the late 70’s for me. Even now when I hear this, it’s like being teleported back to the fall of ‘78 in my room. Laying around me are various records, including Cheap Trick at Budokan, the first Van Halen album, the first Cars album, Blondie Parallel Lines, Ramones Road To Ruin, and Some Girls by the Stones. Star Wars posters on the walls. It’s a really nice feeling.

Very under rated pop writer. Incredible range as far as vocals. Met him several times when I was opening for him. He's quiet He's also very funny in dry way. True Canadian trail blazer. He opened doors for bands like Streetheart..lover boy and Brian Adams to name a few. I've always had a connection to him. I played my junior high dance when I was in grade 8. I remember playing Electric Love. Times were cool. I appreciate Nick Glider and his band. The hooks are endless. The band was extremely creative and tasty shown in such songs as Catch 22, You Really Rock Me and of course Roxy Roller. Lots of great memories growing up. Wish we didn't have to😁
