Jim formed The Idea of March in 1968 and wrote the greatest love song ever, "Vehicle." He saw a girl, wrote the song FOR HER, went out and made it a #1 across the country then went up to her and said "Hey Im Jim Peterik and I wrote the song you are listening to for you!" Theyve been married ever since. How cool is that!
Jim also wrote "Eye of the Tiger" for Survivor.
HE AND THE IDES ARE GOING TO THE ROCK HALL OF FAME!
I lived in Darien , Illinois and lived on the same street as Jim and his wife .It has been awhile but I have barbequed many times with him, even drunkenly threw him into a swimming pool. We are Facebook buddies and alsways leave birthday and holiday wishes. Ive watched him rehearse with these guys before. It was about 4 months ago we last talked online.
Jim has promoted and supported local Chicago music and still is out there with his now purple hair getting new bands promoted and heard.He is a staple of the Chicago music scene.
WOOHOO! Jim deserves this! 50+ years and STILL kicking ass! Congratulations IDES!
...and YES , Jim has visited Wikiloops and listened.

Cool Joe, that's such a great tune too! Chicago loves horns I guess. Here's your Russian buddies doing a decent cover of Vehicle.
