@captainsoul1953 Absolutely! Everyone should own this album. Great song-writing, great lyrics, great singing, great playing - what else is there? A true classic (and the following albums were fabulous as well).
I hear you America snoring I hear you America snoring Did ya see it on TV Or in your own backyard Gate's LAPD And they called The National Guard Then the tanks came rolling down Sunset Boulevard And I hear America snoring They want ta' legislate the moon They want ta' legislate the womb They wanna legislate all the things they hate They want ta' legislate this tune And I hear America snoring snoring I hear you America snoring snoring Give wind time to blow The rooster to crow Plug my ears but I hear America Oh oh oh See the shoemaker and his shoes Sliver needle thread and glue He's closing up the shop Move it all to Timbuktu Where the labor force is cheap And the rivers there run deep But I hear America snoring I hear you America snoring snoring America I hear you America snoring snoring America I hear
Sad fact. Great vid though eh? Captures all the energy of that short period when it seemed GLB were going to reach untold millions. Turned out to be be just a small few of a certain generation in retrospect, but still as you say..... "Classic".
they was doin' the rock thang... had to play it up a notch or two. Compared to a lot of their other songs. this one is pretty high tempo, though, innit?
Grant Lee Phillip is one of America's finest songwriters ever !! (as we say in Trinidad and Tobago) Talk done !!
One of the best 5 albums of the 90s. easy
Still relevant today as it was 28 years ago after the 92 riots in Los Angeles.
Grant-Lee Phillips is one of the greatest American songwriters ever.
One of the coolest slide guitar solos I've heard.
It's one of the greatest albums released in 1993.
lyonslaforet and that’s saying a lot

Just found THIS on another Comment on RUclips ✌️💯🎶💯🍻🎵🎸🎸🥁💷🇱🇷
All of the GLB albums and solo albums are superb, and no two sound alike. I'm sorry I missed the reunion show in February at the Bowery Ballroom.
America; a mile wide and an inch deep.
We are not the people we think we are.
Deep.
An demonstration of the songwriting talent of grant lee philips
Una bella "band"
Amazing!!!! What a wonderful band. They should release a DVD with the promos and live material. That would be great.
Thanks for posting. Nice job.

I hear you America snoring
I hear you America snoring
Did ya see it on TV
Or in your own backyard
Gate's LAPD
And they called The National Guard
Then the tanks came rolling down
Sunset Boulevard
And I hear America snoring
They want ta' legislate the moon
They want ta' legislate the womb
They wanna legislate all the things they hate
They want ta' legislate this tune
And I hear America snoring snoring
I hear you America snoring snoring
Give wind time to blow
The rooster to crow
Plug my ears but I hear
America
Oh oh oh
See the shoemaker and his shoes
Sliver needle thread and glue
He's closing up the shop
Move it all to Timbuktu
Where the labor force is cheap
And the rivers there run deep
But I hear America snoring
I hear you America snoring snoring America
I hear you America snoring snoring America
I hear
HELL. YES.

Jim
Pre - Ryan Adams..una joya Fuzzy
one of the smartest protest songs out there
Good question!!
Wanna legislate the moon!!!
Folks, don't try this at home... Rehearse and perform with electronic equipment only in dry areas.
awesome song!
but aren´t they just a bit too frantic for it´s pace?
it´s almost as if they were hearing something different in their heads
