I guess Bill sees the similarity to Mark Knopfler since he followed this up with Privateering.

I dare you to find it but Chuck Prophet's cover of the Dream Syndicate's "Merritville" on "From a Man of Mystery" (Steve Wynn) will show you true 'imitation is the greatest form of flattery.'  In fact I dare you to play ANYTHING by the Dream Syndicate - it's way past due.

And one of Chuck's musical heroes is Steve Wynn of the Dream Syndicate / Miracle 3 / The Baseball Project.  I'll always wondered why we've never heard any of these bands on RP?

Chuck Prophet? Sounds more like an imperative for cult followers than a name ;)

This would be good juxtaposed with Alejandro Escovedo. I'd love to hear "Guilty," but I don't think it'd fit here.  I just LOVE Chuck Prophet. Thank you to whoever submitted this one! *blows kiss*

Still lovin' this tune. Glad it's still in rotation.
And for the record, it's not a "blame the victim" song, it's a "love is blind" song. When you're in love, you see what you want to see and filter out the rest. No amount of advice from friends is going to change your mind ("You saw a light I saw a freight train coming'. I tried to tell you he was no damn good"). Sometimes we gotta find things out the hard way.

I read in New Scientist (UK serious science mag) a while back that 'bad boys' are popular amongst some women because they're exciting and different, whereas 'nice guys' are preferred for settling down with. So in a nutshell 'bad boys' are ok for no-strings fun shags, and 'nice guys' for longer term relationships where maturity and commitment and genuine niceness are required. Bleedin' obvious, really. The trouble comes when you get the roles mixed up, and try a long-term relationship with a 'bad boy'. I write this as a 'nice guy' who often envied 'bad boys' their success with women, and used to get frustrated that 'nice guys' often got the "I think of you as a brother/friend" line from women I lusted after. In the longer term, though, nice guys do best. I hope.

So, grrlz, do to 'bad boys' as bad boys do to you: f*ck 'em and forget 'em.

Good call. He does sound a lot like Beck, but that's still not who I'm thinking of. Hmmm.
This song is really growing on me; one of my current faves.
Check out the cool photo concept that accompanies it on youtube (and read the blurb).

I don't think he's blaming the victim.  There comes a point when you have  to take a stand no matter what.  Women who are abused and fight back often do get killed or badly injured.  But if they don't fight back, their assailant will eventually kill or injure them anyway, so the woman has no choice but to fight back.

Anyone hear this guy when he was in Green On Red?  I have happy memories of pogoing furiously at one of their shows in a ratty pub in London back in the late 80s ("when rock music was proper rock"™) .   He seems to have quietened down a bit since then, but good to hear he's still around.

Yeah, well, that's about a third of the story. Mostly, it's about the helplessness a good man can feel in the face of watching a woman he loves be victimized (in a situation where her choices, like it or not, prevent his intervening). Listen again. Closer.
