The summer of 1993 I hauled my little sister to every one of this guys concerts at pretty much every fairground throughout the state of California. He was going through a bit of a downturn in his career and it was before the Rick Rubin produced American Recordings put him on top again. To this day she refers to going to these shows as her 'legacy' that she will tell her grandchildren about. Back then he always did a live version of this song. And EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. the audience would go ape-sh*t-crazy after this song concluded. Here we are almost 30 years later and the song takes on a new meaning. And yeah the cheese factor was high when he performed it on Carson in 1980. But, the words resonate. More now than ever before. If you think Vlad is the enemy. You are getting in the way. Just like an Australian Cattle dog in a western movie- you showed up just in time to get your head kicked in by a horse. Useless. Stand clear. And let the Border Collies take over. The real herding dogs. In the past I always believed in changing the system from within. Given the events of Jan. 6 I should have also known better. I guess I deserve that head kick too. But you never know until you know. Change is not going to come easy. Past generations had the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, etc. which defined them. Looks like it's our turn now. Listen carefully to the man from Dyess, Arkansas. Because he speaks truth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ifeeqnrd6gA
