    avec un petit riff de basse aussi entrainant, ca donne plutot envie de se laisser emporter..

    A sad footnote to this song is that G S-H was busted a few years back for crack possession, and seems clearly to have developed a bad habit. Ironic.

    I love GSH and even saw him live once. My favorite song of his is “Winter in America” – musically dense, introspective, with a political bite that is more poetic, and more intense than the obvious, though still appealing, stuff like B Movie.
