Spirit In The Sky -- Norman Greenbaum

I was in Junior College and met a girl in chemistry class that I loved from afar. We would often hang out with the same group of friends, but I never could figure out how to take it to the next level with her. Over Christmas Break, I flew into Salt Lake City with my sister to see Kenny Loggins in concert. When he started singing those words, “Meet me halfway across the stars”, I thought my heart was going to explode. I came back to school knowing with all my heart that I wanted to be with that girl forever, but I was too late. She was now dating someone else. When graduation rolled around, we took one last photo together and said goodbye. I didn’t know if I’d ever even see her again. I didn’t even know what University she was planning on attending. Three months later, I was walking across this huge campus at the university I’d chosen to attend, when suddenly, amid the crowd of students scurrying to get to class, I thought I glimpsed a familiar figure. I didn’t even dare hope it was her, how could it be? But I blew off my writing class and started tailing her. I still didn’t know if it was even her, but I wasn’t going to let her out of my sight until I knew for sure. We I followed her the entire way across campus and finally decided that this was my moment. It was now or never, so I took a chance and called out her name like a drowning man calling to an angel to save me. “Rachelle!” She turned around and I looked at me with those deep, dark eyes and in that moment, she really did meet me halfway across the stars, and all those stars we’re aligned perfectly, just for us. We set a date for the very next night, then went out every night after that until our wedding six months later. We’ve been together now for 35 wonderful years, and every time I hear the song, “Meet Me Halfway”, I well up with tears just thinking of that wonderful sequence of miracles that allowed us to find each.

I had the great fortune of watching Mr. Loggins rehearse for an upcoming evening event over a weekend at Chesterfield Central Park in Chesterfield, Mo in about 2012. I happened to be walking around this new and lovely park and I sat on some rocks overlooking the outdoor stage. I saw some guys doing sound checks on their instruments and then a man came on stage and strapped on a guitar. Since I was a way off, I didn’t recognize who it was until he sang the opening lines of Danny’s Song and drew closer to make sure my ears were not deceiving me. I got right up front and at the time no one in the park was in this area so I sat there alone and listened to them rehearse. It was awesome. They also performed I’m alright. That was one of the coolest moments of my life to witness such a great songwriter, great story teller doing a rehearsal. Nobody came to run me off and I was so grateful for that moment.

The last tour Michael Jackson was planning was going to be called "This Is It." I always wondered if he or his people got Kenny Loggins' permission. Maybe they didn't need to do so, but I thought it would have been nice for them to think about what Kenny would think, as that was a very personal song about his father. Different songs named "This Is It" were Dan Hartman, Melba Moore and Jim Reeves hits, though smaller hits than Kenny Loggins'.

Someone gifted me Return To Pooh Corner at my baby shower back in 2005. I still often listen to this album to go to sleep. It was awesome to hear the story behind the eponymous song!

1. Was a BIG Loggins & Messina fan through the 70's. Special fondness for Native Son. Had 7th row seats when they were doing their farewell tour, the only time I got to see them, but it was amazing. 2. Kenny was launching his solo career as I was finishing college and striking out on my own, and I was following his new music closely. Fond memries of a road trip I made with my best friend, wearing out the cassettes Celebrate Me Home and Nightwatch. 3. Next stage of life was motherhood and Return to Pooh Corner was a favorite to play for my two children. It was my go-to baby shower gift to other friends having their families. Now in my senior years, I still have Kenny's music from all of his eras in my very eclectic classic playlists. Pooh Corner still resonates.

The Real Thing had always moved me and been my fav Kenny song until May 2008. I saw him in concert here in Denver on a Monday night. Some odd things happened at that concert I won't go into (spiritually odd) On Tuesday, I ended up in the hospital fighting for my life. Two emergency surgeries in 36 hours and a very, very long road of recovery in front of me. After a month in the hospital and moving into my long term healing phase, I found myself depressed and sometimes despondent. That's when - in attempt of self soothing - I heard "This is it" with brand new ears. It became a MANTRA to me during my recovery knowing only I, with my mindset, could get myself back to health. And I have. And I'm so grateful to Kenny. And to you, Adam. I found your channel a few months ago and I'm hooked. Thank you for what you do. Turning other people on to you as well! The more the merrier!

I never knew he wrote Pooh Corner at such a young age, I didnt even know about that song until the 90s.

It's always jarring for me to think of Kenny for all his professional activities predating his solo career. To this day, I have difficulty thinking the same guy who recorded "Footloose", "Danger Zone" and "Meet Me Halfway" doing the 80s was the same one who gave us "Danny's Song". This additional layer of history regarding "House at Pooh Corner" and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is something new in and of itself. So is the part where Kenny was recruited to collaborate with Richard and Robert Sherman.

I haven't gotten a speeding ticket since.

Meet Me Halfway - got me through a long distance relationship and I'm Free my teenage years in a tiny Ohio town I detested. Kenny is a featured player in the soundtrack of my life.

My mother was reading me Winnie-the-Pooh a few years before Disney’s first film. I even have early editions of the books that belonged to my uncle. While we chafed at Disney getting hold of our favorite book, they actually did a nice job with the movie, and Kenny did a remarkable job with his song. It blows me away that he wrote it at 18.

I quoted Kenny Loggins song, Celebrate me Home, at the funeral of my 16 year old son. "Home for the holidays I believe I've missed each and every face Come on and play my music Let's turn on every love light in the place It's time I found myself Totally surrounded in your circles Come on my friends Please, celebrate me home.

I grew up on Loggins, between L&M and his solo stuff... even beyond just being a child of the 80s and all his soundtrack hits being in constant rotation, my mom was a huge fan, so those records were on in the house all the time, and I still listen to all those songs today.

My aunt is a HUGE Loggins fan. I sort of stole one her tapes she made of a Loggins/Messina album, and some other stuff when I was a young teenager, and LOVED it. I particularly love Mr Night. What a fantastic song. And what an unbelievably cool guy he is. I am envious of your opportunity to hang out with him and hear his responses to your questions like this. Kudos, as usual.

It wasn't Loggins, but Fogelberg's "Leader of the Band" that got me through my dad's passing. He adopted me when I was four, and he was 54, so when he passed from asbestosis at 83, I should have been ready for the transition, but what I discovered is that we are never ready to say goodbye to our parents. That was 1994, and I still think about him, and that song, every day.

Return to Pooh corner is one that has layers of meaning for me and my life, but to save getting into too many details I'll say that from the first time i heard it (at around 13) i got it. It's one of those songs that will always remind me, no matter how much life throws at me and makes me numb, i can still feel.

I very much approve of that t-shirt! 👻❤

I still have my Ghostbuster shirt from the 1980s. I still wear it, even though it's faded to grey and has many holes now. When you get dressed, remember that if you die that day, that's your ghost outfit forever. (ha!) I wear my shirt often just in case. I love the irony of haunting people while wearing a "Ghostbusters" shirt!👻

Great interviews! I listened to the audiobook of his autobiography recently and he's lived an amazing life and goes into even further detail on many of songs as well as the relationship with Jim Messina fantastic book. Thanks for revisiting two great stories!

The only logins album (cd) I have owned was Return to Pooh Corner. It was heavy on rotation in my minivan CD player when my children were little. My youngest grandson is less than a year old, and his mother (my daughter) mentioned a while ago that she has been listening to that album again, but with a new perspective. Thanks so much for this video 🥰

One of my friends was involved in the US/DOD Nuclear testing program. He told the lady who would become his wife, on the night they met, "I blow up atomic bombs for the government." At one point, he was living out West, and his roommate's girlfriend was always giving him trouble about his work and razzing him. He would say, "Joanie, you're going to get me fired!" She hated his job. The girlfriend, Joanie, was, actually, Joan Baez, folk singer and peace activist. His roommate was dating Joan Baez. Small world.

Professor, I have played Kenny Loggins song on my radio show hundreds if not thousands of times. He has always been one of my favorites and I envy your friendship with him. When my wife and I divorced years ago, I used The Real Thing to explain it to my daughter, because I was suddenly a single father of a two year old little girl. It was sometime before she could understand the reason, but she always knew that I did it for her. To this day that song brings tears to my eyes, not because of the relationship, but because of the heartfelt words and music that Kenny wrote. Simply beautiful.

Heart to Heart has given me a lot of inspiration the past year or so. I barely remember it when it came out. Watching a reaction video turned me onto it.

Every time I hear "Danny's Song" I stop what I'm doing, and just drift away to those days when I was a 7 year old kid, glued to the radio, obsessed music, curious while consuming all of what was being offered. There was some really great music on the radio during my 7th year on earth, really beautiful music

Amazing. Thank you for sharing.

After seeing your video on Quiet Riot, I'm going to see what's left of Quiet Riot play at a fair on Ohio on July 13. Rudy Sarzo is with them
