Look into Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains. You've prolly already heard of them if you listen to Erik...but yeah, if you're looking for someone who isn't afraid to talk about the issues, check them out too.
I love how he tears disney and starbucks a new one with this song. Somebody needed to call him out for ruining small towns. Companies take over rural areas and it destroys the local culture.
i fucking love this guys lyrics!! i first heard some of his stuff on a beat ass recording but i got past that with wity/charming lyrics and fun/fast paced folk guitar
Can anyone help me. I swear that the lyrics are 'The community has failed again, thanks to folks I never met' But everywhere it says 'And community is felt again, thanks to folks I never met.' Is that right?
I could say r.i.p or im sorry that he is gone but i could never explain just how much his music really changed me
how did he die, i just found out about him and yeah one song is what took for me to bite the hook
@@nikolanovakovic4150Sadly committed suicide. He was having some emotional issues. Truly an amazing person, one of the best.
@Dakota Hope if only he knew how important him and his music truly is
@@RBkaj :(
The big bad man is out of town! Erik left behind one hell of a legacy of music.
man this is fucking history. rip
Don’t mind me just returning here again to move this back to the top of my liked videos :)
Thanks doug.
I've been watching a ton of his videos today. So sad about him. He was amazing.
I’m doing the same today. Every once in a while I just have to watch all these shitty old videos and remember his presence.
Man I used to rock this s*** at gables square open mic they loved it. I love you Eric 💪
Digging that dustbowl-era fashion choice
RIP Erik
An amazing artist. Mischief Brew is my favorite band out there.

Well, big bad man come into town
Gave sweets to the children
Pushed their daddies around
Made the streets so bright in the zones of blight
No more fear in the hearts of whites
He built a hall, put on a show
From high above, watched his boulders roll
Then he bought Main Street and the old Town Hall
He named his price, his face on every wall
Now the factories have all shut down
No more cloth stitched in this town
So the only job for boy and I
In the prison making tiles shine
Someday that man will come here too
With that magic hat, spit and glue
He’ll wash the stone, paint the brick
Rename the streets
And make the clocks all tick on time
He’ll make us run on time
And every town will celebrate someday
Waving sweatshop flags and grande lattes
Wearing culture on their backs
Wearing spirit on their hats
One by one they’ll join the parade and celebrate
Yeah, every town will celebrate someday
See upcoming rock shows
Get tickets for your favorite artists
You might also like
Now corners near and corners far
Are somehow the same coffee bar
And community is felt again
Thanks to folks I’ve never met
They slayed the artists, sold their arts
Gave the toddlers shopping carts
Raised the prices, raised the rent
Some days I wish that I could go back again
No, I can’t go back again
Just like they do in Florida
Down in Celebration, Florida
And when every road is Main Street, U.S.A
We’ll be safely kept at bay from any disruption or display
Of truth, adventure, love and rage
Of truth, adventure, love and rage
Of truth, adventure, love and rage
Hey!
Every town will celebrate someday
Waving sweatshop flags and grande lattes
Wearing culture on their backs
Wearing spirit on their hats
One by one they’ll join the parade and celebrate
Yeah, every town will celebrate
Every town will celebrate
Every town will celebrate someday
erik rocks, mischief brew rocks.

All my heroes are either completely different people, retired, or dead now...
Pat the bunny

Wow, there are 2007 kids
Im actually surprised I like his music tbh@@GatileoGatilei
Ya I've made it that far. I just need to gather my funds and send out the money.
Is this at the chum dumpster?
@spacehardware Every man can do wrong, he just chooses not to.
i actually know him so HA to you he has two pugs
fuck yea ukebox!!!!!
No offense guys, as good as they are, Dustin Kensrue is the closest we got to Bob.
I love Erik, but Ryan adams is the closest we have to ryan adams. Heartbreaker is a classic and reminds me of Old bob.
Sad :'(
HOLY SHIT IS THAT GUY JIM HALPERT FROM THE OFFICE.

Nope. Suicide.
Can anyone help me. I swear that the lyrics are 'The community has failed again, thanks to folks I never met' But everywhere it says 'And community is felt again, thanks to folks I never met.' Is that right?
I always thought it was "felt again".
RIP
