      & commercialism...
      Saw him, in concert, in the, early, 90's, what a privilege.
      Travelled, to Sydney, for that one, paid, for the ticket, makes it, evenmore special.
      A ticket, to ride, isn't always, what it's, cracked up to be.

      And Ry Cooder on the one before it! Now he's working with Jerry Douglas, and it's better than ever.

    There are countless good songs out there. There are many, many, many, really good songs out there. But
    the truly great songs are rare. This song, in my humble opinion is one of those rare and truly great songs.
    It is that kind of song that makes you feel great when you were feeling fine. Is is one of those songs that
    reminds you of the joy of living. And it is one of those rare songs that reminds you that even when you are
    down and are anxious about the state of the world that there is beauty everywhere. Corny? maybe...but
    still true...

    I'm not a huge Neil Young fan. But this song, is right on. Only love can break your heart. The things that hurt you, they're all... just... love. And sometimes that's the hardest thing. I lost the only woman who's ever really mattered, and I don't even know how. Not really. I have a broken heart. I've been around the block enough to know what I lost. Real, honest, true, love. Something real. Something bigger than either of us. Something that lasts forever. So today I try to remind myself, that the heartache... it's just love. Deeper and more real than anything I could have ever imagined. And it's sad. It's heartbreaking. And yet... still love.

    Sure, I was well on my way to repentance in 1988, but this song was a baptism for me, a cleansing of my soul from the pollution of over-sampled, banal, formula-driven tripe that Hollywood, Nashville and New York called "music."
    The juvenile musical me was transformed even as the year, the worst and best of my life up to the point, was drastically changing, a time of great upheaval. Thank you, John Hiatt, for being there. And here you will ever be.

    America's most underrated singer-songwriter. I dare you to find a bad John Hiatt song.
