Coming up next, a rare interview with rock singer-songwriter Dave Pirner of 80s and 90s Minneapolis scene group Soul Asylum on the 1993 classic hit Runaway Train. The song started out as one thing and ended up making a seismic change worldwide. Dave Pirner actually wrote the song about depression but it took years to finish. The lyrics were too similar to another #1 song from long before but after going through some dark times, one day a metaphor hit him right between the eyes and he wrote the song we know in a few minutes then the song’s video would have even more impact helping solve crimes and saving lives. Get the story next on Professor of Rock.
