thank u bonnie for this song. going thru a breakup now after may promises broken and stress. thanks for making me remember i never use to take this shit. i was strong then and can be again. i will not be broken this time!!!
One of my girlfriends from college named Mary introduced me to Bonnie Raitt. I love her contributions to music. At 57, I am scared to run out of time. But thanks to Mary for helping me understand life. No compromising. I hope your life has been great. I have missed you for more than 30 years. We will see each other again. Joe
George has been in the band for just under 20 years. Hutch Hutchinson for 27 years and Ricky Fataar for 22 years. Jon Cleary was with her for 10 I believe.
One cool rocking mama here! Have seen her twice in concert and believe it or not, but she sounds so good on her records but even better live and in person! Genuine singer and artist here!
I'll always remember when I first heard this song. I though to myself... "Wow, this is the theme song to my life". My whole life, from the time I was 7 years old til today (I'm 31 now), I've been beaten down, pulled through the mud, and crapped on. But I always get back up, because I refuse to let this world beat me. And when I set my mind to do something, nothing in this world can stop me.
Wonderful artist. Allways great slide work - and that voice! Knocks me out. Please find time to watch and listen to her version of Del Shannons 'Runaway' from No Nukes concert (think it was 1979).
"I will not be broken, I am strong and I am wonderful, I deserve the best and will achieve that by myself this is just me". "Thank You Bonnie, many women feel strength from the words of this song, and your fine voice singing it".
Bonnie is major talent...she's been my roots since I first saw here on Soundstage back in the seventies...Amazing talents this one...nobody like Bonnie =)
possibly in the top five underrated artists of all time - great guitarist, great writer, great voice, beautiful, still - after recovery from years of hard drinking - and one of the nicest people you could ever meet.
unbroken - she has still got it - catch her live any chance you get.
Bonnie Raitt learnt her bottleneck style from one of the masters ie:-`Mississippi Fred Mcdowell`` her father was John Raitt who appeared in some of the Doris Day films from the 50`s - 60`s
I'm Italian and she's not famous here...just discovered her performaces by chance and totally agree with prevoius posts. She's brilliant and dispite her age looks so fresh and...love her!
@RensieLupescu Ma che' dici 'malgrado la sua eta'?! Shame on you. she is living proof (like my good self) that 'older' women are fantastic and alot fresher and healthier (and nicer and more talented) than the young women around these days. Sono italiana per meta' (parte materna) e peccato e' che Bonnie Raitt non e' stata celebrata neanche riconosciuta in Italia. Viva YouTube almeno per te. Auguri
@RensieLupescu never mind her age she is up there and I say she is absolutely beautiful she has taken great care of herself and she is one of the best guitar players alive!
How awesome is that Rensie? That people from far different geographic locations can still connect with music, or ideas that makes an impression on us, regardless... :)
I guess there's something to be said for the information age :)
bein' a woman! (course, you can throw in drug and alcohol recovery, death of your brother from brain cancer, friends dyin in plane crashes, and divorce, if you need real context), but bein' a blues woman, there's always context.....love THIS woman, her struggle has given us all music to lean on in our own struggles (speaking for myself) ♥
