By request. A kind of silly looking video, but then most videos were silly looking back then.

Nov 18, 2008 - I got this off of a 3/4" videotape that the record company sent to the record store where my wife of 25 years and I met. The tape had two videos, this and "Crazy In Love" and I dubbed both to VHS. I checked YouTube and found "Crazy" was up, but not this one. So I thought I'd share.

Nov 18, 2008 - This may look a little "silly", but the lyrics are heartfelt. I've always thought this was about the Irish Revolution. There was nothing silly about "the troubles". Check your history books. It's great to see Bucky Smotherman. The album which had both these tunes was so under-rated. Great songwriter! I remember him from a fantastic road band called Sound Circus- from the 60s and from Roger Miller's band. Wonderful singer and monster keys!

Nov 18, 2008 - It brings back some hard memories...of the Bottle Rocket War of the 80's.I first saw this video on USA Network's NIGHT FLIGHT back in the early eighties. The video doesn't hold up but the song sure does. I have the LP around here somewhere. Yes, all the songs on the album entitled MICHAEL SMOTHERMAN were under-rated. Not a weak cut on it.
