This song had a common poignant theme in the lyrics about a strained father-son relationship, where as the dad was not there for his son. Words and Music, Harry Chapin. A story of his actual life? The song in itself is a masterpiece musically and sung with feeling. It can make me tear up and usually does.
Nice photo of Harry, young and free!! Love it!

On July 16, 1981, Harry Chapin died, The famed singer-songwriter was killed in a car accident on the Long Island Expressway. He was only 38 years old.
According to police reports at the time, the car Chapin was driving, a 1975 Volkswagen Rabbit, was hit from behind by a tractor-trailer which struck Chapin's at 55 miles an hour as the car shifted lanes. The collision ruptured the gas tank of the VW, causing it to burst into flames. The Harry Chapin Archives says that "the driver of the truck, 57-year-old Robert Eggleton of South Plainfield, N.J., and another passerby were able to get Harry out of the burning car through the window and by cutting the seatbelts, before the car was completely engulfed."
Oh, I loved Harry Chapin and still love his music!! What a great tragedy it was to loose him in the prime of his life and career. Two more of my favorite Harry Chapin songs are "Taxi" and "Wold".
