"Fly Like an Eagle" by In This Moment

 

Albany, New York melodic metalcore band In This Moment take the 1976 space rock song "Fly Like an Eagle" by San Francisco natives Steve Miller Band and dress it up in a leather jacket covered with razor blades.

For another Steve Miller Band cover, Sugar Ray's version of "Abracadabra" can be found here.

 On this day in 1956, a boy named David Seth Kotkin was born in Metuchen, New Jersey.

The name is probably not familiar.

He's more widely known by his stage name ... David Copperfield.

To celebrate the birthday of the most commercially successful illusionist of all time, and the guy who escaped from Alcatraz prison while I watched, captivated, as a wide-eyed ten year old, here's Newport Beach, California funk surf band Sugar Ray with a cover of San Francisco Southern rock group Steve Miller Band's 1982 track "Abracadabra."
