Imagine, if you will, an eagle, on a solo flight…. Soaring high in the sky….Gliding majestically…Floating in the air…surveying the earth below…. Historically, many Indigenous Americans have great reverence for the mighty eagle. Although the symbol of the eagle varies from tribe to tribe, eagles have mostly been bestowed as a symbol of courage, strength, and wisdom. As the highest flying bird, Indigenous Americans believe eagles are nearer to God above. Their purpose is to be the messenger to the Creator. In the glorious year of ’73, during grueling months of touring to support the album The Joker, Steve Miller began writing a song he titled “Fly Like an Eagle." The track was written during countless stays at Holiday Inns over the long tour. Sitting on the bed in his hotel room, Miller penned “Fly Like an Eagle" in reaction to what he saw on the road. The U.S. had myriad issues in ’73. American troops were coming home from the nightmare of Vietnam to heavy recession, poverty, and people living in the streets: The lyrics to “Fly Like an Eagle" evolved over several years, and began as a political statement- framed from the despair of Native Americans- exacerbated by the Wounded Knee standoff in South Dakota, in February. 1973. The original words that Miller wrote for “Fly Like an Eagle” carried the lyric “time keeps on slipping, slippin’ away…time keeps on leaving me... on this reservation.” You can hear the inspiration of WAR on Miler’s maturing track, particularly their 1971 hit “Slippin into Darkness.” Actually, Steve Miller was always a socially conscious artist. In the early 1960s, while attending the University of Wisconsin at Madison, Steve joined the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee- traveling down South as a Freedom Rider. The group rode public bus lines in the South to challenge racial segregation. He also demonstrated against the Vietnam War. For years Steve & his band of accomplished players were labeled a “jam band,” and mired in what Steve called the “FM ghetto,” because his music was relegated to sporadic, late night airplay on FM Radio. Steve Miller had a blip of AM crossover success with “Living in the USA” that stalled at #94 on the Billboard Hot 100 in ’68. The track was re-released in ’74, along with SMB;’s Sailor album, but still failed to crack the Top 40- losing steam at #49. And “Going to the Country” slowly crawled to #69 in 1970
