Songfacts:
Chicago singer and keyboard player Robert Lamm wrote this song and sang lead. He explained on The Chris Isaak Hour: “I was a teenager walking down the street in Brooklyn, New York where I grew up. I walked by a movie theatre and there was an usher standing outside taking a cigarette break.
