"A Long Run Home"

In 1981, Cerone recorded "A Long Run Home," a song released as a 7" single on the Reel Dreams label. The song, written by Carl Henry and Bill Hudak and recorded in Newington, Connecticut, is sung from the point of view of a Newark baseball player visiting a New York Stadium during a snowstorm. The record sleeve notes that "Rick Cerone's royalties will be donated to the Italian Earthquake Victims Fund." The single failed to chart in the US.

Famous quotes containing the words long, run and/or home:

    “We long for our father. We wear his clothes, and actually try to fill his shoes. . . . We hang on to him, begging him to teach us how to do whatever is masculine, to throw balls or be in the woods or go see where he works. . . . We want our fathers to protect us from coming too completely under the control of our mothers. . . . We want to be seen with Dad, hanging out with men and doing men things.”
    —Frank Pittman (20th century)

    “The use of symbols has a certain power of emancipation and exhilaration for all men. We seem to be touched by a wand, which makes us dance and run about happily, like children. We are like persons who come out of a cave or cellar into the open air. This is the effect on us of tropes, fables, oracles, and all poetic forms. Poets are thus liberating gods.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “At home you always have to be a politician. When you’re abroad you almost feel yourself a statesman.”
    —Harold MacMillan (1894–1986)
