1336 - Foreigner Juke Box Hero 1981

"4", also known as "Foreigner 4", is the fourth studio album by British-American rock band Foreigner, released in 1981 on Atlantic Records. Several singles from the album were successful, including "Juke Box Hero". The song focuses on a boy unable to purchase a ticket to a sold-out rock concert at the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, New York. Listening from outside, he hears "one guitar" and has an epiphany, leading him to buy his own guitar from a second-hand store and begin to play without any lessons. He realizes that with the guitar he can become famous, and does. Mick Jones told that the song was inspired by an actual fan who stood waiting outside an arena for about five hours in the rain. Jones, impressed by his dedication, decided to take him in and give him a glimpse of what happens backstage at a show.
