All of the comments listed and when this tune was played where placed before I was aware of RP. This song and the whole CD is really great. I was unaware the RP had RC in there libary. It is much better than the 3.7 rating that it has gathered. I always thought that RC has a place on RP. He is a great songwriter and many of his tunes have been covered by other artists and many of you never even knew it. I think it's time to get this tune out of the libary give it this another spin.

hmmm.....not sure about this. I used to like a couple of his songs back around in 89 but this song is not bringing back any memories of why. he's kinda cute though

trying.....to...make.....social commentary.....AUGH - turn this off!!!

This song should have been named Fate's *Left* Hand -- you know, the "wiping" hand. ;)

Listening to this song is a little like walking into an elevator where someone had just farted.

Horrid! Simply horrid! This song is INCREDIBLY annoying.

gee.. is he a friend of Billy Joel or something? Sure sounds like it

this is just painful...

The words are sorta interesting...especialy when I heard "there's a 187 on the 405". Which translates to "there's a murder on the San Diego Freeway". pbm 8^)

Not too excited about this but I do like the diversion from the normal country pap that is heard these days. It takes balls to buck the system.

I don't much care for this either... sorta like a less-good version of "It's the End of the World (as we know it)". (Or maybe it's just that words-upon-words style, which, in general, I don't like, *except* in ITEOTW(aiff).

This song really sucks. "Hey, hey, look at me! I can rhyme! I can write stupid lyrics, but at least they rhyme....am I not deep?"
