      & 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.

      Down here in Louisiana when we aren't fighting floods, hurricanes, gators and such, we love to dance. Needless to say John Hiatt & Little Feat are big in my neck of the Bayou.

    I saw John in Kalamazoo MI. He came out and shook our hands and talked with us afterwards. And he had done the whole acoustic show alone. He was very genteel and gracious. The man's raw soul, energy and charisma is second only to his talent. Fantastic song. My second favorite of his.
