Great job Steven, and great performance, Tom, as always. I play this song for audiences just after I've depressed them with one of my own entitled "I'm not Me Anymore".
Look at all those hideous 60's hippies in the audience. Absolutely the most destructive and self-centered generation in world history! Fuck all those self-important wankers and stick some flower power up their asses while their at it.
@oldogsec Not a problem in my case. I tell it like it is and don't give shit what people think about it. I hate hippies and the useless Baby Boomer generation.
Awsome song haha It was trully my favorate...but mostly cause i cant remember...what my old favorate was...or what this videos about...why am i still writing?!
I'm a gen-x guy who has been limping through the most painful time of my entire life. A song of yours I had not heard in thirty years -- from my parents' old tape deck -- popped into my head and has been a sort of totem for me through this period. "No Regrets". It's helped me articulate my pain and grief, create an emotional 'spike' to sort of cry around. I'd like to thank you. I guess one never knows what the unseen fruit of one's artistic labors yields. Has meant a lot to me.
and may i add ,I think it is great that the band RUSH that i have allways loved,,,decided to grow old with me the stories in your songs will last,,FOREVER
and may i add ,I think it is great that the band RUSH that i have allways loved,,,decided to grow old with me the stories in your songs will last,,FOREVER
oh man, among what little I do remember is seeing Tom Rush in concert in 1972..........glad to see he kept at it. Oh wait, was that him? I think so............
Great song great performance but let's give credit where it's due. The song was written by the famed zen cowboy Chuck Pyle who also does a great version of it and writes a lot of great songs.
@MaabudZ OK that was 8 months ago. I just found out today I was wrong. I first heard the song from Chuck many years ago but it was actually written by Steve Walters. Too bad politicians can't publicly admit their mistakes, no matter what party they're from
Thanks for using your gifts. It means a lot to the world . It helps people to realize HEY laugh a little .. live a little .. I am honored to share this time and place in history with you Tom . Great show on Mountain Stage !
Thanks Johnny - I forgot the artist and had to google it but found it - fab song and no regrets ain't half bad either !,keep on rockin' even if you can't remember why !!
I met Tom in Montana when I was on the Board of Directors of The Greater Yellowstone Coalition, at the conference. He & his wife are great supporters of our last remaining wildlands. Wonderful person............
I saw another memory video like this on You Tube and it sure fit me like this one does. I keep forgetting words to songs when I do them for posting here so I have to print them out..LOL. Ahh yes, it's great getting old...I like this song better.
Great song...great performance last night at the Narrows in Fall River. Hadn't had a chance to see you perform since mid 80's at Symphony Hall with BB King!
In 1969 we put on a Tom Rush concert for a class fund raiser at Lincoln Sudbury Regional High School in Sudbury MA. He was terrific. And cute as could be! Yes. I had a crush on Tom Rush. Now, about 6 weeks away from our 40th reunion, I see he is as forgetful the rest of us. He still looks good though. And btw, we made money on the concert! Thanks Tom. Great to see you again.
Just posted a link to this song on a website as I bemoaned the fact that I've mislaid my house keys somewhere... without even leaving the house. Wonderful, wonderful song that everyone over 50 (and a few under!) can identify very well with.
1000 thumbs up! Us ole folks need more songs like this to keep our spirits floating upwards...I laughed and laughed and laughed 'til I cried....so true...but I loved it anyway.....
I was a big fan of Tom in the 1960s -he was not well-known over here, a very under-rated talent, looking pretty good for his age -great funny song that we can all identify with -well done Tom !
Also heard on Johnny Walker's show and immediately went to find it on YouTube to send to all my forgetful friends. Very funny and quite reassuring in a way!!
Hey, this song just reminded me of a book I bought way back when, it was called, "How to have a super-power memory" I can't remember where I put it but I'm sure gonna look for it now.
Man, does this hit home for me.. My wife and I looked for months for something we know was moved here from our last home. I love this bit of video. Thanks!!
