@rainwizzard i'm almost positive it was shot in, what was then, the empty lot on state street across from Macy's (then Marshall Fields). same place for years that hosted skate on state
I loved this song the moment I heard it, JM is at his best when he writes and sing on the human condition, youth spent, love fleeting, time the cruel mistress yet memory remains of beauty and loss of it all. Magic
Hi from Canada: I recorded this off the TV on fricken beta and lost the tape(and machine) years ago. I have searched for this forever and just found it. Human Wheels is as true a classic as any Stienbeck novel. Believe it or not the suits at the record company didn't want to release it...they wanted rap. That's how eventually he went to a car company to get his music out.
One of the best articles what USA can export. I only hope that John will someday tour in Europe so I and rest his european fans could enjoy his live performances. Ps I'm a fan from Finland.
@Hallstat72 Well done!! We should make a stand to convince John that he MUST come to an European tour!! C'mon Jooohhnniiieee!!!!! We need a "once in a livin'" concert in Europe!!
This is fucking beautiful!
