Michael: The Highwaymen

August 25, 2011

Every time I hear this song all I can think of is the scene from the Tom Hanks, John Candy movie Volunteers. Tom Hanks, owing huge sums of money to a gambler, switches places with his college roommate, boards a plane and heads for Thailand as a Peace Corps volunteer without application or training. He’s wearing a white tux as he’d just come from a party. When he opens the curtain to the coach seating area, all of the volunteers are swaying and singing this song. It is one funny scene.
