I-95 Drive Home Mystery Artist [VIDEO]

Tonight’s mystery artist had a hit song about a guy named Johnny that he says was based on a composite of different artists he had known.  Can you guess what the song might be or the artist??

I found this tale about the song ‘Shooting Star’ by Bad Company.  The song is about a rock star who falls victim to a drug overdose which has an uncanny resemblance to the death of one of Paul Rodgers bandmates from the band FREE. However in Songfacts interview Simon Kirke Bad Company’s drummer set the record straight saying:

"It was a sort of homage to the pitfalls of being in the rock world. You can let the success go to your head and you can get strung out and you can die. It's very, very simple. And, unfortunately, it's happening with alarming frequency to this day. Addiction will always be with us. But 'Shooting Star' was based on a composite of musicians."

Here is Bad Company with tonight's featured song.
