Champagne and caviar? "Rich" people actually eat very little of that stuff.  That's her naive equivalent of "I'll bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car, They're probably drinkin' coffee, And smokin' big cigars..."  In fact this song is alot like that one in retrospect.

 
sounds like a rich guy being defensive of rich culture.

She had a couple of so so songs. Not much else there.

'Meh'  I like a lot of TC's stuff... no doubt talented. But this one's mediocre. Hey! Who asked me?

'At This Point In My Life' is my favorite song by this great artist

Hate her voice, sounds like she's about to fling herself off a bridge.
Her website is superb though.

This is so nicely textured. I normally don't love congas and such...but this is really well done with nice keyboard filler. It's well done and good backing for a strong voice talent of TC.

I was at a Ben Harper show years ago, watching the hideous Virgin records execs and their wives get photographed next to him (cringeworthy), then noticed this woman sitting by herself. I thought "What a Tracy Chapman wannabe!" until I figured out it really was Tracy Chapman.  She remained so part of the background I don't think many people sussed her out. And after watching those records execs fawning over Harper, I can see why she'd want to do that.

I can appreciate her songwriting talent, but I just got so tired of the overexposure back in the day. Too much sameness. It's like, if you've heard one TC song, you've heard them all.

I bought this CD when it was released and I still thoroughly enjoy it from time-to-time.  Thanks for playing this song. Apropos.

Used to think so to for a while. But later realized that the only think I might regret on my deathbed was giving up, or worse, not even trying.
You can't be held accountable for the things you can not affect, but you are responsible for everything you can.
I know the odds against shit turning good is enormous, but I no longer care. If I don't even try I might as well just go ahead and die. But If I later will leave a world worse then this, I will still leave with a smile - for I gave all I could.

You can't pull the whole weight yourself, but you can pull your own.
Forget any judging god, the only one you have to answer to is the reflection in your own mirror.

Hope you some day will join us. And If you will, you just proved my point.
People and things can change.

She is amazing!
I saw her in concert in the 90's at the Joint in the Hard Hard Casino in Las Vegas & it was one of the all-time best sounding shows I've ever been to, (& I have been fortunate enough to have been to many concerts in my day.) I attribute that great sound to Tracy's excellent catalog of music, her amazing band AND the excellent sound system at the Joint ~ a Trifecta, if you will. Before the show someone handed out note cards to everyone standing in line, saying, "If you have any questions or comments for Tracy, write them here." Well, at the halfway mark of the show, she stopped & went through a lot of the note cards, reading & answering them! Kind of cool, I thought.

Politically commentary in music is basically preaching to the choir and is best left out since the singer isn't gonna change anyone's opinion anyway, ever.

That said I like her poetry and music even if the political garbage is best left in the dumpster, where it belongs. I'll add it to my collections. "Man is a political animal" - Aristotle ... good thing us Grouch's are apolitical.
 

Yeah...you're right, the world will never change...Women won't ever vote, Slavery will always be legal in the United States, and of course and even if they do get emancipated, they won't ever vote..and goodness sakes a black person will never ever be elected to any office....
