Was that with the Jazz Band? Does John Blakeman take it now? I was in his wee brother Richard's class at Inst 91-98.

Jim Peterik also played in the band Survivor, well known for the song "Eye of the Tiger" from the Rocky III movie from the summer of 1982.

For all you young kids out there this song came out in 1970. The lead singer Jim Peterik (may have spelled it wrong)had a girlfriend in the 1960's. She wanted him to drive her around everywhere. He commented to her "what am I, your Vehicle?" He based the song on his old girlfriend. Also, the "vehicle" that he had at the time I believe was a 1962 Dodge Dart.
