ridingrails....you are from the deep souther states arent you.....how many people have to tell you that this is originally a bob dylan tune!! and Janck Johnson and brett dennen are two of my faves!!!!! VIVA JACK JOHNSON!!!
i personally like Dylan's version the best but Chrissie Hynde has a really good version of this song, BTW - Brett Dennen is awesome, haters don't know much about music in my opinion, he is a great songwriter, cool performer
First of all, this guy although ok, is much better than Jack Johnson who sucks. Second, this song is originally by the Band!!!! A band sooo much better than either Jack or Brett...sorry...
Yes, the Band does it so righteous. It was released on "Music from Big Pink" and you will clearly see that the credits say, "written by Bob Dylan." No matter...it has become an American song of redemption from the darkness of oppression, a statement of hope, freedom and longing so sweetly mixed that I hope everybody sings it on a stage sometime in life. I did...I also sang it handcuffed in the back of a police car while being framed for a crime I didn't committ. RESONANT. Just sing, feel.
can anyone picture this guy winning an mtv music video award? Why. Okay I'll tell you. Music has nothing to do with record sales. Image does. You shouldn't buy a cd unless your television or radio tells you to. Were you surprised whe Britney's new crap album did well? What a terrible thing that happens every day in this world. Why????? I guess I'll always be confused about how things work around me. Anywho... Good on ya Brett. Keep it up bro. Peace.
Thats exactly what I was thinking. He doesnt have a good image. Thats why he isnt very popular. Thats too bad though. Because if you listen to his lyrics he is a great writer.
Just because he doesn't look like the average Joe Schmo, has red hair...that means he doesn't have a good image? He's popular, and growing...so shove it.
Just by you telling me to shove it because I said he is not popular shows how truly ignorant you are. Not to be popular doesn't mean your not a good musician. Our society and media is based on image. Why was Britney Spears famous? He doesn't have a good image. He's not good looking. I can tell you listen just to who is popular by your comment. A real music lover wouldn't care who thinks the person they listen to is popular. Reality check he doesn't know you exist nor does he care.
So I'm not a "real music lover" huh? You obviously don't know me very well. You're essentially saying that Britney Spears is a good musician or deserves to be famous because she fits the cookie cutter blonde/skinny/girly mold? You don't have a clue what you're talking about. Nice try though :)
Your practically retarded. Your either a ninth grade girl or a high school drop out. Yes I DON'T KNOW YOU IDIOT. HOW COULD I? BUT I KNOW HOW STUPID YOU ARE BY WHAT YOU WRITE. NO I DIDN'T SAY SHE DESERVES TO BE FAMOUS YOU IDIOT. I SAID THATS WHY SHE IS FAMOUS. THE MEDIA THRIVES ON IMAGE. NO ONE IS PUTTING BRET DENEN DOWN. I AM SIMPLY STATING THE OVIOUS. HOWEVER, I WON'T WASTE MY TIME ANYMORE BECAUSE ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO EDUCATE SOMEONE SO NARROW MINDED AS YOU.
I especially liked the 'YOUR practically retarded' comment (it's YOU'RE, honey)...and then the immediate transition to CAPS! If you can't get your point across in lowercase, there's always CAPS, right? Oh, and putting idiot at the end of every sentence was a nice touch :)
Not like your comment deserved a response, but I'm a sophomore in college. Graduated high school with honors. I know, big shocker.
jeremy lister on guitar, richie lister on piano, jucas reynolds in the jacket, randy who is bretts drummer in the hat i forget his last name, and i forget his bassist name but hes in the gray
yeah i never got his name, first time i saw brett it was him and randy and ALO filled in as the rest of the band for them. it was the first time i saw Andrew with them. amazing still
Yeah i just saw him with brett in november at a tiny club in boston... there was about 40 people in the whole pleace... great stuff... ALO kicks ass too... haven't seen them live yet... I'm off to see brett sunday in western mass... with angel taylor
One person had their computer upsidedown...or just hit the wrong button!
