play on brothers and sisters
Despite getting one of his songs poached by first W and then McCain, John Hall has had a very distinguished career as a congressman, I believe from upstate New York, after he ended his musical career. After fronting several bands (most notably Orleans) in the 70s and forward and writing a catalog of material with ex wife Johanna, John recently resurfaced with a tour and a couple of interesting one off performances including the one here that has Pete Seeger (yes 89 year old Pete Seeger) helping out on banjo and applause. Nice to see plenty of us aging rockers still rocking, even if seated occasionally. The bar-stool boogie is a legitimate dance too! With the Japanese nuclear reactor still leaking, eh, spewing toxic waste, this oft-criticized song just rings as true as ever. Please vote in nuclear power poll below the kosquiggle and vid.
