But listening to it recently, with our Republic under siege, I began to take comfort from its lyrics, and wondered if its composer meant it to have that level of meaning when he wrote it in the mid-1980s.
Thankfully, others have been wondering the same thing and one of them discussed it with Neil in a recent podcast, which I’ve edited to focus on that question:
Neil And Bob
The talent in the room …
Perhaps Love
I want this song played at my memorial service
Happy Birthday, Bob

Positively Fourth Street
I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is to see you
Guilty As Sin
If you like rockin’ good blues…
Today
Grace And Marty At Monterey 1967
The Wicked Pickett
Classic Muscle Shoals sound. Dare you to sit still.
