"I got it from a pilot on television. He said there's not much to learning to fly. The difficult thing is coming down. And I thought, 'Yeah, that's true.' The song came pretty quickly after that. I still like that song and still perform it." Howie notes, "That song, and a lot of the other songs from Into the Great Wide Open, really came alive on tour. I suppose when doing that album the formula was pretty well worn." The promotional music video was directed by Julien Temple. | Appears On | |
