In 2004, GONN was inducted into the Iowa Rock 'n' Roll Music Association Hall of Fame. They have mounted European tours in 1997, 2001, and 2009, and recorded & released an all-new, all-original album called GONN '45 Fully Loaded in 2012. Lyrics- The universe is permeated with the odor of kerosene I was walking down the street at night, Thinking in my mind that my life was right, The moon came up and I looked around, The street lights were on nowhere around. My eyes were dark and my heart beat fast, I knew that my dark side could not last My eyes were dark and my heart beat fast, I knew that my dark side could not last It was dark as it could be, A deep sea diver could not see, Cars were driving with high beam, You couldn't even tell if Mr. Clean was clean. I lit a match and I walked on home, My night side dark time cold and alone, Walked in my door and to my surprise, I had sunglasses on my eyes
