Summary

Chances are you know the words to most, if not all, of them; they are a part of pop culture, which is why, more often than not, a Kenny Loggins concert turns into one big sing-along.Loggins said, "I learned early on that songs that were very personal to me, and that's anything where I could write where it would really touch my heart or hit that place of vulnerability, would then be more accessible to an audience.""'Cause if it mattered to you, it would matter to a listener?" asked Cowan. Just like "Footloose" wouldn't be "Footloose" without some Loggins lines, either…Cowan said, "You've talked about how a song really knows what it's about before you even know what it's about.""That happens all the time. He had written "Pooh Corner" as a boy of only 17, but after spending some time as a dad himself, he re-wrote the end: "That circle comin' around to where you see your son sleeping with the bear you slept with when you were a kid."After all said and done I was watching my son Sleeping there with my bear by his sideSo I tucked him, I kissed himAnd as I was goingI swear that old bearWhispered, "Boy, welcome home"Kenny Loggins is now at a point where he can celebrate all his success, and at the same time make a promise to himself about the future: "To be more present, so that I can enjoy each moment that I have, because we don't know how many more we've got.
