I just finished ranting on how much I hate the Stones.

In Dutch "douche" is the exact meaning of the word "shower". So let's keep it fun here:

Man! You are a shower!

Hey, good catch. It seems so natural in this song I didn't notice the irregular meter.

Not my best to be sure.  But I'm not sure I could have found a better way to describe you, disposable one.

Oh now that is just silly! Song comments are for opinions; good and bad, this is still America for the time being, it should not be like criticizing a Wagner opera in Nazi Germany!{#Rolleyes}
I love this song!{#Cheers}

Well, I'm in a couple of rock bands, and I can assure you that singing to a crowd of fans has no effect whatsoever on the validity of my opinions, unless we're talking about stage fright, monitor mixes, or something related to live performance.  It lends no credence at all to my opinions about John Hiatt's voice, which, IMHO, (i) is not that good, and (ii) is well-suited to certain types of songs, as exemplified by "Solar Sex Panel" on the Little Village CD (collaboration of John Hiatt, Nick Lowe, Ry Cooder, and Jim Keltner).

BTW, trolls are allowed to have ugly opinions, and Robco is allowed to disagree with them.  But this much is true:  opinions about songs are more relevant than opinions about commenters.

I generally agree.   He writes great songs and arranges them splendidly but he is not much of a singer.     I saw him during his tour with Lyle Lovett, Guy Clark, and Joe Ely.   Great opportunity to contrast vocal styles.   Hiatt and Lovett and Ely all work hard on their individual vocal styles.   All very different from how they talk.   Guy Clark, on the other hand, was completely natural.   His singing is completely unaffected and just musical version of his normal voice.  

Hiatt is better in a band setting where the other instruments can distract from that voice! 

But to be clear,  I really, really like John Hiatt and many of his songs.    "Bring the Family" is a classic.

You're tilting at windmills, Rob. Embrace criticism, trolls, bugaboos, and ogres. They add interest to the story line.
Also, this song really sucks.
