It's Bolzai. I'm Jesse Thorne.

If you turn on the car radio in a rental car, and it's on the classic rock station,

maybe you're the kind of person that reaches for that tuner knob and heads left over to public radio.

But what if a heart song is playing?

Like, what if it's Magic Man?

Cold late nights so long ago when I was not so strong, you know, a pretty man came to me, never seen eyes so blue,

so I could not run away at sea, we'd seen each other in a dream,

seemed like he knew me, he looked right through me yeah

Come on home girl said with a smile

You don't have to love me yet let's get high a while

But try to understand

Try to understand Try try to understand, try to understand, try to understand, try to understand.

I'm a magic man.

Seriously, you couldn't change it. That song rocks.

So does Barakuta. So does crazy on you.

So does basically every record they put out in the 70s.

They are classics for a reason.

Any band could put out one album like that and tour on its legacy for the rest of their career.

Hart decided instead to reinvent themselves as one of the biggest torch song bands of the 1980s. What about love, alone,

these dreams, these dreams? These dreams go on when I close my eyes. Every second of the night,

I live another life
