Rock On Nanci! You're still fucking awesome!

John Hawkins

It's too much!! - I can't describe my feelings about this lady's many talents. Can she live forever? - John Hawkins, UK admirer.

Love this song, covert his song, added a verse to the song (about cities and Soleri) but where are the children of color in this video view of the world? Would love to present this video to my classes, but they would certainly notice this (and more than half might feel personally slighted)

Victor Edwards

Does anyone know who is playing that slide guitar?

Gerry Dillon

Such deep, profound lyrics even in these modern times

You are all beside the point. A song is like a poem--you don't ask a poet to change the third word in the second stanza. You listen and take it in the way it is given to you. Because the words chosen mean something to the artist. You try to find the kernal of truth and relevance in the writer's words. If you don't like it, don't listen. It's not your place to say what she might have said. Leave it!

This is true. When I first actually listened to Nanci it while driving diagonally across Missouri. It was this album on one the NPR stations. This song is important today, for me anyway and I hope for many.

This is my first YouTube comment so I don't know if it is directed to Bruce Levine, but it is directed to Bruce Levine. The song has only one or two syllables to give some kind of description. She might have gotten away with 'churlish' but it's unclear how many people that would have meant anything to. You want to help out with a description but in lyrics there is a severe restriction. Later in the song the description of the 60s is Disney and Cronkite and Martin Luther. There are many other thing she could have used. There is no 'King, Jr.' after Martin Luther. There are not enough notes available. What is it about Disney she found special? It doesn't matter. The reference allows us to think about all the things we find special about Disney. With only a note or two you do the best you can to give some kind of description. Even if you had the room you wouldn't describe him as 'in a three-piece suit with a red power tie.' Nobody would relate that to a KKK veteran. It isn't a comment on body shape. That would be in a different song. And God forbid if lyrics became subject to political correctness. It wouldn't be worth listening.

Fine singer songwriter. Some of us from the sixties are still fighting on Nanci.

NOT THE ORIGINAL VIDEO I COMMENTED ON 

Chris Waywell

A brave song, shallow but the point still gets across that people are prejudiced towards one another. The line about driving on the left is presumably a huge dig at us British for being in Belfast but the Irish drive on the left anyway Nancy so your point is lost here and the days of getting into the wrong sectarian taxi are thankfully long gone.

its sad you don't understand the meaning of the song....the description of the racist has nothing to do with the message she is trying to get across. So what if its changed to say the racist is a skinny man...still doesn't change the message.
