Josh Ritter plays A Girl in the War at CAP event

[PazContigo]

outstanding live-performance

and what a speech to the crowd:

I came 2000 miles to play you this song! If there is anyway you could just listen to this ONE song. (Silence!) I've travelled all over this country in a van! i've slept in a van! And i'd been to truck stops and peoples houses and i think that there is a lot of problems in this country. And i wrote a record which i meant to write about this country ....

AND IT ALL CAME OUT SOUNDING LIKE A LOVESONG!

This is a song of its own!Genius!
