Also, check out, Amanda Shires and Jason Isbell's cover of Neil Young's "Don't Let It Bring You Down". It's definitely the cover song we all need now -- more than ever.
In the meantime, Keep Calm, No Fear, Shut It Down & Keep on Rockin'.
And if you're finding the world to be confusing and disorienting, please know that just as Bob Dylan dropped 17 Minutes of The TRUTH last month, Johnny Cash dropped 2 Minutes and 47 seconds of The TRUTH in 2006.
Johnny's TRUTH from 14 years ago is now approaching 100,000,000 views (not a typo).
The answer is not only blowing in the wind ... it is in our faces.
"FUTURE PROVES PAST"
hmmmm. Sometimes, not all the time, but sometimes, and all too often, folks' covers of Neil can be fun for them.... I guess, and that is great in their living room. But this one is truly uninspired if you ask me, which nobody did.
ReplyDeleteAnd then I'm gonna go find my mom and dad
ReplyDeleteAnd good old brother Doug
Well I bet him and cousin Jackie
Are still cuttin' up a rug
I wanna see all my mama's sisters
Cause that's where all the love starts
I miss 'em all like crazy
Bless their little hearts
Yeah this old man is goin' to town
Yeah this old man is goin' to town
-- John Prine When I Get to Heaven
It's 4 am and I'm sitting here
Tears drying on my cheeks
Sometimes I'll wake up this time
My heart breaks then it leaks
Remember meeting Kris and
We talked about John
On a magical night
Can't believe now he's gone
Used to sing Dear Abby
To my best friend Jim
We'd laugh, talk and smile
Really missing him
Close my eyes remember
On a hot Summer day
John was singing from the stage
Nothing in the way
He and I were young back then
Life seemed much more certain
Didn't see the tightrope much
Or worry 'bout the curtain
Everything that came round once
Will never come again
But I've still got his music
And memories of back when
Then I'll play another one
And then another few
Summer's End will come again
The world will still be new
Wabi Sabi
Get a hobby
Met a pretty girl
In the hotel lobby
For John
