      When I first got this cd back in 87/88, there were hits and misses. The video hits didn't resound with me much. The deep cuts surely did, like this one. Same for Scarecrow.... Between a laugh and a tear is a great example.

    As we all know, sometimes early in our career we can get off base. The ones that get back on track are the ones I admire don't you? Johns music is righteous in that he wants the powers at be to leave us alone in stead of peeking into our everyday lives. Does Google approve? We need some of u younger folks to get out there and start getting together to start something. Our freedoms seem to become less and less as time progresses so that when u get old like me u might not have any.Anyway... Sorry about that....johns music is about Freedom in our wonderful country (yeah, I know, there is a lot to be desired), for everyone including the powers at the top. They need help too, they just won't admit it.
    John started out in a direction that he was kind of forced into, but his gut wouldn't put up with it. He's turned around and never looked back. I truly admire him although I do get the idea that he can be a real pain-in-the-asssest.

These are scenes from the movie The Straight Story, which was made several years after the song was released. There was no original video for this song when the album, Lonesome Jubilee, was made.
