when a genre has to sell itself so bluntly, and with the suggestion that other music SHOULDN'T EXIST, something is rotting
Living Colour is one of the best black rock bands in the world, and its guitarist, Vernon Reed is briliant and yet ...
only airplay they get is in election years to campaign for rightwing candidates when they play Cult of Personality. but ben and his lame musical toying gets airplay if he does the idiot talk of exclusion for the fascist and fearful music consumer
Awesome song. Ben Harper. Genius. I can't stop thinking about Neil Young in this track. I think it's really clever to make this look like a TV commercial rather than a clip. Perfect for the lyrics! Very nicely crafted digital work. However, I still don't like the clip at all. I want to see Ben rocking out. It's like seeing Ben Harper drive past in a Prius instead of (what I would assumed would be) a Cadillac...
I luv this song! The color of the skin is not a matter of choice. That's right! And the color of the skin is not a matter of rock'n roll. Rock'n rollis FREEE! Is my English funny?

Hi Y’all! What’s Up?!
People say me BIG dreams as mine don’t come true.
But I say them “There are no impossible dreams but there is people incapable to achieve their dreams”
I make cover videos, and my dream is to become a Singer.
MUSIC is all I need to be for my life and able to achieve my greatest dream, triumph with it.
I’d love if you just give me a chance and stop by my channel Also if you could thumbs up this comment so other people can see it. That’s all it takes.
U makes my world better

so rock bands don't charge ticket prices?
no cover charge or $12 dollar drinks at clubs?
drum sets for 3k or guitars for around the same?
his version of Tears of a Clown is the lamest ever done.
who could do that to the greatest bassist that ever lived?
