Man oh man -- I sure am glad that I stumbled on this clip -- it is excellent and true.

Why is it that the greedy, brutal, and uncaring ( they pretend they care, then kill civilians

and the soldiers ) people always seem to attain the most powerful positions.

Perhaps good, nice, and sensible peopl...

I ran out of space on my previous comments. Sooo ...

The guys who hit it big from the mid fifties, like Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis,

Carl Perkins, etc. found their voices and styles early -- Roy did not. He didn't sound so good back then. But in the early sixties he took off like a rocke...

Oops - mis-typed indoctrination.

mea culpa.

@CherylKC - I haven't read all the comments yet ... so, yes this is Tom Waits

at his best. Also check out Diamonds On My Windsheild.

It ( DOMW ) reminds me of my uncle who was a well-driller in Mass.

Tom Waits for no man. Joe

to: mapleavenue77 - You are so right, Gordie Lightfoot is the best singer/songwriter to come out of Canada; an amazing talent. Of course Johnny is also amazing. The best video I ever saw is Johnny's "Hurt".

Recommendation:

See or listen to Liam Clancy - R.I.P., singing Gordie's Early Morning R...

In case you missed it - it's the great Liam Clancy's voice. It is also on YouTube.

Key in "Speech from the docks-Clancy". Nice to see Liam so young ( 27 ), leap down from the bar ( after being coaxed ) by the brothers, grab the chairback and go! Emmet's words are stirring and Liam's delivery is ...

Richard couldn't believe that such an asinine question could asked. He

( Richard ) realizes that this guy is so stupid or uninformed, that answering this question accurately would be difficult or futile. Dawkins knows that he wouldn't understand his answer anyway.

Ain't no cure for stupid.

Three dislikes !?!

Why did you three people even bother to watch and listen.

This stuff is great. Pure reality; no auto-tone here.

To the others ... enjoy

It's truly amazing that as of July 31 2011, 1077 people didn't like this.

I wonder why.

I love it - perfect backup singers !!

Also : Yes Amy, Winehouse had a good voice. Poor messed-up girl.

Let her RIP.

It's been awhile since there's a comment has been posted.

Great song; wonderful voice.

Here are what I think are lyrics corrections:

I met Katy from Mayo // Tinkerman - - - be a rovin' // Among the scented clover //

Remember ,too, . . . // no open roadway //. And a few others not worth mentioning...

Amost everybody recognizes the quality and greatness of this song.

Written, and also sung, by Steve Goodman ( R.I.P.). Made an international hit by Arlo Guthrie. Willie's version is also very nice. But my favourite rendition is done as a duet by John Prine and ( I think ) Rodney Crowell. Hope it'...

No doubt that Doc's is the definitive version.

I was never a Pat Boone fan - but I always liked his "Moody River" ... now I know why.

As for Johnny Rivers's version: Johnny it's not a Rock song.

I'm very glad that this was posted.

Thank you Tsukikage726

This is crap.

All I saw was yet another reason NOT to believe ...

especially in "Intelligent Design".

And where there is photoshop-ing, it was poorly done.

Thank you

I have fond memories of this song. Among my favourites.

Thanks for the posting. Keep'em comin'.

I'm white ( I think that's my skin colour - but there's a great mix of genes in there ) and Canadian - doesn't matter. I love Norah Jones and all of her music. But this is the song that initially drew me to her. Excellent.

Thanks so much.

Absolutely amazing! To the people who want to spend a lot of time arguing: WHY?

Discussion can be good. Fortunately we didn't have "mosh pits", we were too engrossed really appreciating the music of the times. So lucky.

As for our modern times, 2011, get an album, or CD called Neck and Neck - i...
