I sang this to audition for a part in Mayflower Community Theater's production of The Music Man a few years after the release of No Rain. Shannon Hoon, the singer of Blind Melon, died of a drug overdose after I had given up drama as a crazy activity that made me more hyper than anything on stage when characters were running around in madcap disorder. This song was what Bob McNamara lacked as Secretary of Defense when draftees were being sent to Vietnam and the courts thought we had political powers to control what the powers that be do instead of courts and a Constitution. Hey, Bob, would you listen to this?
