I was listening to the radio driving through the desert when this great song came on called "Don't you wish it was true"
with the most incredible lyrics, melody and that unmistakable voice.
Almost brought tears to my eyes to know he is bringing back some very
down to earth music. I haven't bought an album in 20 years but I will
be getting this one for my birthday (Right kids!).
Below is the news report and the music video of just one of the songs on the album which I hear is great.
While there has always been controversy over his songs against wars both Vietnam and Iraq, his music only expresses an idealistic kind of truth and I have always respected even while I was in the service. His God given gift for music composing and one of a kind singing style is an appreciated thing to me, not whether or not we agree politically. After all Americans have fraught and died for all freedom including expression, lets never forget that.
