Take a trip down memory lane and remember the classic 'So Awesome' jingle from D.C. You may not have known, but this jingle was written by a member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band and Neil Young's band - Nils Lofgren. Relive the nostalgia today!

An interesting bit of trivia that you probably don’t know. The dude that penned this jingle, Nils Lofgren, was also a member of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band and was also part of Neil Young’s band. Clearly this jingle is his best work.
