I love the line "You can see for a million miles on a starry night". I live in Midtown Atlanta, and most nights you can't see a single star. How things have changed in 30 years.

@micha1rw yeah light pollution is everywhere now.You could go up to Lanier and the mts. and it would be pitch black at night in a remote area.You couldnt see your hand in front of your face.But man ,could you see the stars and the milky way.Thanks to urban sprawl ,even in remote areas you can see the city lights on the horizon

Odd how the official song of Denver Colorado has found its way to Atlanta with re-done lyrics! Very cool tho!

See YouTube video code

It was Catch 5 that debuted in 1974. Hello News didn't come out until about 1977/78.
