Unbelievable! I absolutely LOVE this song! The first time I ever heard it was in 1996? A band called Steppin In It was just starting out in East Lansing Mi. (they are still around today and have a nice following) They played a basement party for a friend of mine and covered this song.....I was mesmerized by the lyrics (and the soul that Steppin In It play to it) Still one of my all time favorites, yet I dont own the album! Suggestions?
This was the first JG song I'd heard. I moved, thought I had lost the CD. I recently found it again and rediscovered JG all over again. This song still has the impact it had in 91, amazing. This is from Jacks Crows - highly recommend picking it up!
This song is even MORE poignant and true today, than when John composed it. Especially now with all the health care reform mis-information... when people need and deserve access to quality affordable care. So beautifully articulated: "money talks, people jump, Donald whats-his-name... They want to feel like they count, they want in their own car." THANK YOU JOHN GORKA
Hey...... Thanks for taking the time to comment, thought it isn't "about me", it's always nice to know that something you take the time to do/put up.... is appreciated.... sooo... THANK YOU!!.. and yes yes yes..... more people should hear this song...... as as MANY other John Gorka songs.......just a brilliant brilliant singer/songwriter, and i completely believe: under-appreciated...... More should know of him. ..... (again: thanks for the comment)....
I love the intensity of the "donald trump" line........ yee haww..... great great performance of this song....... the one i wanted to share the most..... keep posted, as i will work on getting more out..... okay?.... Thanks again, John..... grins, smiles, and pats on the head....... from a fan in Northern Maine.....jme

THEY WANT TO FEEL LIKE THEY COUNT. and they don't care what your new wife doesn't wear Mr. Trump. Are you listening America?

I have been waiting for someone to put this tune up since I heard it live years ago--THANK YOU!
Terrific. A song that a whole bunch of Americans need to hear. Repeatedly.

Fully agree, he is a great talent. I put him and Chris Smither at the top of the under-appreciated singer-songwriter list. Both great guys as well.
