Firefall - "Strange Way"

Firefall began to unravel in 1979 when the group had to replace drummer Michael Clarke who often showed up in no condition to perform after excessive drinking (if he showed up at all).  Clarke was best known for his time with The Byrds during the 1960s.  To sub for Clarke, the band hired Dan Holsten (who looked very similar to Clarke).  By 1980, most of Firefall's original band members had departed, and a year later their record company dropped them.
