    ""i wrote this song doing pretty much what you are probably doing right at this very second: scrolling thru social media. it struck me as SO wild- how, as you scroll back in time thru someone's account you watch their face grow younger...but as you do this REAL TIME IS RUNNING OUT!!!! the clock is ticking...instead of doing good work or creating love or taking a walk in nature i am here STARING AT MY FUCKING PHONE!!!! ha ha ha. don't get me wrong- social media is an amazing tool...but i think we should look at it more like a tool, like a hammer you pick up for a little while to do a job, and then you PUT IT DOWN. you don't sit there and keep hammering away or else pretty soon your entire world would be destroyed and fall apart! and i feel like that is exactly what is happening right before our very eyes to this precious real beautiful human-filled earth. so lets WAKE EACH OTHER UP PEOPLE! lets stand up against injustice and use this tool of social media to fight for peace and love and equality! let's throwback for a minute but try and live in the NOW for a better future. thanks for listening."
    Jim James

    What I enjoy is that James actually plays Rhythm and the guitar solo in the same vein of throwback: to the earlier days around It still moves and Z. I’m sure it was on purpose. Just an added level to the song message.

    You think you're cool, but you'll never be "Jim James wearing a trench coat & sunglasses playing a bedazzled guitar" cool

    I like old music by young folks, and oldies that sounded avant-garde at their time, that’s why I am here.

    The lead guitar on the album is gorgeous when it first comes in. So glassy... (assuming it’s also a Jaguar on the album version)

      I heard this as I was lying in bed one night listening to the local college radio station. I was like WTF ? This is fabulous ! I never really paid attention to MMJ as I'm old and grew up in the 80's. Damn getting old sucks ! Lol Anyway, I don't know what types of music u like but I also discovered a young lady named Jackie Venson a year ago. She's an incredible guitar player from Texas. Listen to Always free live tiny desk audition. You might dig it. Peace 🙂🎸

    • @blakesourisseau2088
      @blakesourisseau2088 6 лет назад

      This is a great version too, I love the band he's playing with, the lead guitar player Kevin Ratterman is amazing. Saw him with Jim James on his solo tour last year twice. But you can't compare solo Jim James versus MMJ at Red Rocks. Red Rocks makes any musician play 150% more than they usually do.

    I keep coming back to this performance...James is very very good, but he has a long ways to go before he's Neil Young.

      Pretty sure the only person that can be Neil Young is…Neil Young.
      This is Jim James. And I’m damn sure glad. Need both lol
