So much about the song is outdated, but the vocals are iconic and the melody is catchy, and “I Can’t Drive 55” by Sammy Hagar remains a classic. Plus, who doesn’t love a vintage Ferrari and a jumpsuit that looks like hotdog toppings. Fortunately, the speed limit has been raised in many places since this song came out in 1984. We can legally open up the throttle to as much as 80mph, even here in Oklahoma. I do love to drive fast. There’s something so freeing about it. Like time doesn’t matter…
first, happy birthday.... and second things DO get better.. there is a shift that happens at some point, and you get a new perspective and sense of purpose. And anyways. at least on zoom, you look beautiful!
I like that ... I do think aging can be liberating and a creative time in life. It's just all these aches and whatnot, sheesh! Oh, and Zoom has a feature to make facial features softer, so that really works in my favor, so thanks! :)
I'm 99% certain that Sammy sang this song at a New Year's eve concert with Blue Oyster Cult 1983 in Seattle, which would have been before it appeared on his album. Maybe I'm crazy - it was also the first time I ever smoked weed, so who knows. Happy Birthday, I'm right behind you by just a few months.
