    From the writer of the greatest protest song, This tune bends unique guitar around excellerated lyrics coming from a dude who appears to be on his third day. This is an excellent example of music being art, enjoy yourself, the chick, amazing, no wonder McMurty is concerned how hes gonna find her now. "I see the red light blinking in the middle of town"....

    • @alancraigie4870
      @alancraigie4870 9 років тому +1

      Stupid comment. He's in the same generation as Bob Dylan. Surely you wouldn't claim he's better than Dylan. His songs are good but not particularly meaningful. I think John Darnielle is the best songwriter of Generation X. There was a campaign to make him the poet laureate of the US.

      Of course music appreciation is subjective, but I doubt even James would put himself up with Dylan or even Steve Earle, Levon Helm, Lucinda Williams.... Only someone ignorant of the wealth of American songwriters would suggest that he is the best of our generation. I suggest you expand your musical horizons before making silly comments (although it does suit your pseudonym).

    • @alancraigie4870
      @alancraigie4870 9 років тому +1

      John Jones
      Listen to Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan, Honouring 50 Years of Amnesty International and see if you still think he's better than Dylan. I think a lot of people have only listened to a couple of Dylan songs and don't appreciate the huge body of work he's produced. I believe a straw poll of knowledgeable lovers of Americana music would put Dylan overwhelmingly as the best of our generation.

      +Nathaniel Glasgow Very possible. When James was with his dad (and not staying with his mother in Virginia) he often stayed at my folk's place when he was growing up and his father wasn't home (my great aunt was his caretaker for a while.) This was in Archer City in Archer County. A good 30 minute drive from Wichita Falls.
