Do not remember where or when, but I do remember that either Meat or Jim told in an interview (I have somewhere on tape) that they didn't want to release the album, because it didn't feel finished. Then Jim did write Objects in the Rear View Mirror and they felt that is was completed.
According to Jim it was the toughest song he had ever written.
Like most of Jim's songs this one is so about deep emotions and make you think about life. Because everyone has had situations like that and has to face life with those memories that sometimes seem to rule how you do and feel.
To me it showed that I don't have to forget the past, but that I may look forward without the pressure of fears from my younger years.
"So many wasted years before my life became my own!"
Thanks Jim for writing and Meat singing those great songs which pulled my through and made me the person who I am today.
Ankie.
