He must get sick and tired of singing the same repeatative shit over and over, don't get me wrong I like Trooper and all, but doesn't look like he's enjoying singing.
a pity the audio is so bad. this is such an awesome song. it is easy to see the anguish in ra macguire's face since he wrote this song for his ex band partner who ended up dying from cocaine. for me this song speaks to me of a past relationship where the thin white line ruled and i lost just like ra did. i'm sure it is therapeutic for ra to do this song, just as it is for me to hear it.
The band partner (who I knew quite well) didn't die from cocaine, he left Trooper and cleaned up his act and became a paramedic in the outskirts of Vancouver. He died in a car accident in 1990.
I feel I must clear this up. It angers me that Ra tells this story. I'd rather he just say this songs about a friend or at least let people know that Jimmy did end up making something of his life.
Thanks for clueing me in, as indeed, Ra does tell the story so well in concert. I guess he's a good salesman in that he sells his song well with the story, but indeed, much better to tell the truth for sure.
i also seen trooper at the vayager days and they wernt that great(just cause i never liked them) but i really enjayed this song because its about a real problem with one of his friends having a cocain addiction
Trooper is great live! i saw them at the voyagers on the 28th i think but they were great, even better then april wine and nazarath, who were also good but trooper is amasing!
i snort Wayne Gretzky's to this song
