However, one song that stands out from the early period of the band is one that remarkably became a radio staple despite not having an official release as a single. ‘Shooting Star’ rounds out the first half of Straight Shooter, and is a solid example of their talents in terms of its bold rock songwriting. However, what really stands out about the song is not the performances, but more to do with Rodgers’ storytelling abilities. The song follows a protagonist named Johnny, who is inspired to become a rock star after hearing The Beatles’ 1963 hit ‘She Loves You’ on the radio. “That was the germ of this song; it’s a story and almost a warning.”
