About this listen

 Hosts Jesse Jackson and Sylvan Groth are joined by returning special guest Judy Groth Smith (aka Sylvan's mom) for our discussion of this song from John Hiatt's 1995 album Walk On. Before diving into the lyrics, we share memories of the time this song was released, including one wild weekend when the Groth girls stalked John Hiatt through a snow storm and the start of their shared fan project, Slow Turning: the John Hiatt Fanzine. (Still available online, thanks to thejohnhiattarchives.com) Also, stay tuned for the end of the episode for a contemporary song from a band that shared festival stages with John Hiatt, Entrain.
