“ During the time I served in the US Army, we all had thoughts about what was next and Man what a realization i had when i first heard this song! years later after trying to become what I thought was the American dream, now I'm cool have a few nice toy's etc. but have let go of the hate, anger n pain ya Digg! My thing is my Bike, and my RC Heli which is cool! All we are is Dust in the wind! ”
