Henley sang it but if Hornsby wrote it that is OK.. By the way, Hornsby, in his song “The way it is” knows nothing about “we passed a law in ‘64 to give those who ain't got a little more.” This song is nothing more than a liberal rant. Where does all that “ain't got a little more come from?” As usual, the premise is wrong and the result is feeling, not truth. Never mind the votes by party which has been covered numerous times. Truth is not important anymore.

Saw Bruce Hornsby in concert at the Greek in LA circa 1988... absolute, hands-down WORSE concert I’ve ever sat through. Would have left after the first 10 minutes, but had to sit thru it, cuz parking was awful at the Greek then, and the cars were basically locked in.

He plays 1 billion notes per minute, with masterful genius as I’m sure he believes. He’s like Eddie Van Halen playing the same number of notes on his guitar, it just gets dull and BORING after 5 minutes of his musical self-gratification.

I could see many people near us were feeling the same as I, but couldn’t leave.

I felt like a steerage passenger on the Titanic, trapped behind locked gates to the open deck... “GO BACK TO THE MAIN STAIRWELL!!”
