Bob Seger: American Storm (1986)

Bob Seger wrote “American Storm” after reading Bob Woodward’s biography of John Belushi. Seger thought the coke epidemic was a fad and his song would be outdated before it came out. However, the problem worsened by 1986. The music video featured James Woods, Scott Glenn, Leslie Ann Warren, and Randy Quaid and was banned by MTV. The network obviously did not get the anti-drug message.

Willie Nelson: On The Road Again (1980)

"On The Road Again" is about life on tour. Unlike Bob Seger's "Turn The Page", it is more upbeat and positive. The song remains Willie's biggest hit.
