He definitely has. There are a number of albums on RP that contain some wonderful music. |

Wow I was immediately thrown back to 5th grade...befor I got braces, after I got glasses. Needless to say, not very fond memories. Good song though...  |

He subsequently took a side gig as a temporary drummer for Spinal Tap, and has never been heard from since... |

Still an appropriate song, especially these days.
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
But don't you believe them

Many, many miles of driving on road trips were enriched by this and 'Scenes From The Southside'. Thanks Bruce for making the miles pass so much easier.

Oh goodness. Is it time to be nostalgic for this already? I didn't get the memo. Uh, catch me in another 5 years due to over exposure the first time around.

that stupid little synth line close to the start still annoys the pants off me, 20 years on; a crappy 80s thing to do that spoils an otherwise interesting song, still, those outfits on the album cover don't get any more crappy 80s either

And if I had to hear an overplayed song here, I'm glad its this one. As good as pop ever gets.

Yes, and still ... letting it rest from time to time makes you realize that this is a great song. A real classic.

Bruce, Bonnie, Jackson and Shawn - Saratoga 1999, maybe 2000?
Best concert I have ever seen.
