There's a reason for that ... jk ... not really.
I like most of Ben's stuff.
Just not this one in particular. |

I just don't see the appeal of Ben Harper. To me his stuff is so empty.

No, you can't. Unless you're Bill. And I am REALLY glad you are not Bill.

This sounds like it might be something to play on the 13 days of Kwanzaa
Maybe, perhaps, somehow?

Not up to par with what we have come to expect from his more dynamic albums. A weak 3.

Man that whip the back of freedom line is great from a songwriting point of view.Visual, memorable and the sweetest and most rewarding thing in the world - a pure, original thought.

Being said in the vein of inclusiveness merely makes it EXclusive. We're all "interesting mixes" of something, I guess me being a boring mix of english-russian-german-argentinian-cajun dilutes my "good looking" cherokee part down to no consequence. I'm just a white guy that can tan. Ewwwww. |

I like that album. I'm not a big Ben Harper fan, but he did give Marc Ford a job briefly so that makes him ok.

Interesting too that Laura was there in the audience and a lot of groupies asked her for an autograph instead of him. His interesting mix of African-Jewish-Cherokee blood makes him a very handsome man, too and there were quite a number of women and not a few men swooning in the audience when he sang "Oppression" his favorite looney-left song.
