Brett Michael's father is the veteran in the video...and Brett did lose his best friend..the song is very personal to him. The emotions you see in the video and hear in the song are very real.
@@raystone3172 He's referring to James Kimo Maano who was the head of the bands security while on tour
Yes sir and I tell you I absolutely love Bret Michaels I feel like he didn't get the honors of what an amazing voice that this young man has and he's about my age I'm 56 I got to see them open for Kiss and they were absolutely amazing
@@MetalMcfly if you notice when they flash the picture of him on the screen he gets choked up and his voice carry’s on while his mouth is closed.
My daddy was a Vietnam vet. ❤️
@@sharonbogan0513…🇺🇸as was I.. please thank him for his service. War is hell!
Brett Michaels wrote this song while staying at his parents over Christmas. He found out that his bodyguard and close friend Kimo (who is in the Every Rose Has Its Thorn video) had passed away. He wrote this song. Verse one is about the televangelist Jimmy Baker in the 80's, the second verse is about his uncle. For the part about Kimo, he didn't know that they were going to show pictures of Kimo. You might have noticed that he had to stop lip synching because he was tearing up. The lyrics are all factual. Brett Michaels and Poison are more than just a party band. There lyrics to many songs are about life's experiences. Check out songs like Life Loves A Tragedy, Let It Play, Cry Tough, Theatre of the Soul and Stand. Many people also don't know the humanitarian work done by these guys too.
Great information, thank you for sharing
I have heard this song a thousand times, seen it played live and it gets me every time. It leaves me in tears.
He made that guitar scream in agony and pain that is this song. It is one of those rare songs that you can’t hear without getting teary eyed.
I am 60 years old and was just a kid when Nam happened, but I had so many members of my family serve in wars. From WWII to Vietnam. Being the youngest I have seen 80% of those family members laid to rest now. With every one of them I shed tiers of joyous sadness because finally the memories for them were finally over.

There are no words when so many brave men didn't make it back from that false flag "war." Yet traitor, John "songbird" McCain not only made it back, but became a millionaire and a senator.
AMEN! 😪🕊
I'm 60 also and it broke my heart to see those kids step off the airplanes with that 1,000 yard stare getting spit on and called baby killers. Those were kids that served their country best they knew how and didn't deserve what they came home to!
Sorry for ur loss and God bless all VETS
This is good but you have to do their biggest hit "Every Rose Has Its Thorn". You both will love it, guarantee.
??
They just ended talking about great guitar work in rock ballads. Every Rose has some of my absolute favorite solos. I don't care where anyone rates him among all-time guitarists, C.C. has always been my favorite.
I can't believe they have not done it yet. 😂 My favorite of their ballads also.
Love this song!!
I agree completely. Every Rose is also their only number one. It's special.
My daddy was in Vietnam and he hardly ever talked about it. He did start to open up a little bit before he died and he told me of a time that he and two friends came back in country to California and my dad was the only one in civilian clothes so the others had to wait in the bathroom (basically hide) while Dad went and bought them regular clothes because they knew if they walked around in uniform, it could cause problems. Dad had horrible nightmares but never once did I hear him say he wished he hadn't gone because he had been drafted and he loved his country. Miss you Dad
My dad was the same way over WWII and Korea, only he didn't get spit on!!
It's disgusting the way our vets and especially the Vietnam vets are treated.Same one's doing it now are the same people doing it today.🤬
And that ladies and gentlemen is why the 80s was the greatest decade for music ever!
C. C. Deville is one the most underrated guitar players out there. He doesn't get enough credit and people rarely mention him when talking about great guitarists. He was so damn good.
I think cc deville's solo in this is so underrated. Just great...
"sometimes i wish i didnt know now the things i didnt know then" one of my favorite lines in all of music
It is a great line although Bob Seger said it first in "Against the Wind".
RIP TO OUR VETERANS. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

THIS 👆
CC brought so much out of that Gretch that was never meant to be there... Gretch has always been a rhythm guitar but DAMMMMM... That man turned it into a lead in nothing flat..
This is my absolute favorite Poison song, I feel like it never got the attention it deserved on the charts. Btw Bret Michaels is one of the nicest people I've ever met. Saw him outside a show in a small bar in Nashville on his solo Freedom of Sound Tour. He was so nice to chat with my then husband and I before the show, then invited all 100+ people out to his bus after the show to sign autographs.
this was a HUGE hit back in 90-91, one of Poison's best ballads, for sure. Now, YOU MUST check out "Life goes on". that's an order!
Oh, and BTW, C.C Deville is CRIMINALLY underrated.

Yes, "Life Goes On"!!! And yes, CC is one of the greatest guitarists to ever pick up a guitar.
@@BillGraper yes amazing track
Here is the thing about Poison- they knew how to party but they were the only band that put out SINGLES every album that had a serious message - no other hard rock 80s bands would risk their careers by doing that- "I won't forget you" written about loss through drugs and overdose, "Fallen Angel" tackled Hollywood prostitution (casting couch) and rape way before Weinstein, "Something to Believe In" tackles Vietnam, Suicide, homelessness and Protestant Ministers theft, "Life Goes on" tackles murder in the industry, while "Stand" was a song spiritual awakening- Sorry, Poison outperformed, outplayed, out wrote, outperformed and out charted most 80s bands for a reason. They were full of talent. Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Def Leppard never put it on the line- they kept everything generally skin deep. Hats off to Poison, especially for Something to believe in- going after Vietnam and Suicide in the '80s and early '90s was not a hot topic- everybody wanted to party and Poison said- no- we need to stop and remember. Always respected this band for this song.
Well said...Poison had a reputation for being that quintessential party band, but boy, could they cut deep when they chose to do so...
This song is special for Brett Michael since he wrote this after one of his best freind took his own life.
One of my favorite with every rose has it's thorne

No James Kimo Maano didn't take his own life he died of a drug overdose
and didn't brett stay up all night on new years eve writing this? still a powerful hit by a great band
If you get the chance to see Poison live, DO NOT MISS IT!!! They absolutely rocked the stadium in Denver this summer. Honoring vets during their show with a local veteran honored before they did this song. So much respect for them after seeing them live. CC is the real deal, that dude can play with the best!!! And Bret's voice has aged extremely well. Still powerful, solid range and in control after all these years.
This has been one of my favorite songs since I was a child! The best. Glad you're doing it! Bret Michaels' dad was a veteran. Honoring our vets is massively important to him.

I do not honor vets.. I think all who are in thr military are brainwashed terrorists. I was raised better than that.. I also raised my kids to know that the military is a hoax..
80s power ballad brett on piano and cc on guitar. What a beautiful arrangement.Bless our vets! 🇺🇲👍👍
My dad passed away last November from Alzheimer’s at the age of 72, he was a Vietnam veteran, he never talked about it
Something To Believe In , my favorite Poison song of all, followed "Look what the Cat Dragged In" (stark difference lol you will rock to it for sure)
I know that a lot of people liked to make fun of Poison, but they have stood the test of time and still put on an amazing show. They were my very first concert, back in my freshman year of high school. It remains a favorite memory for me. They have always been my favorite band. 💜
And I’m with Jay- Unskinny Bop is the best! 🥰🤘🏼

They were my first concert too just before 7th grade for me. I saw them again this summer and got to meet them and they were some of the nicest, most grateful to their fans band I have ever met. They are still my go to band no matter what the haters might say.
@@dccraig03 that’s awesome! I would’ve love to see them in this recent tour, but I’ve got some health issues that make going to concerts hard for me. I heard they were great and I’ve always heard about how kind they are. I know Bret does a lot for veterans too.
@@dccraig03 that's pretty cool. I was also a big fan in the 80s and saw them in concert a handful of times. Always a good time! Funny that you say they are still so grateful to their fans - I swear I remember seeing a picture of them in some rock magazine back when they were JUST starting to get a buzz around them and some good radio airplay. One of them had written across it, "We pledge allegiance to our fans, for which this band will always stand." It seems they lived up to that. Very nice.
I concur! Poison is a much better band than most will give credit for. CC had some of the best riffs, and his solos are wild. Fallen angel is my favorite.
The part about his best friend is real. The director of the video put clips of him on the tv, without Brett knowing, in order to invoke a true reaction from him. Love this song. The line "It just makes me wonder, why so many lose and so few win..." gets me every time.
I cry every time I hear this song. It’s so real
I am glad that you finally reacted to this song. Poison was more than just having a good time, they were deep. Respect to Vets all over the world, they paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we can all enjoy the freedoms we got today. They have my respect always.
A lot of these hair/glam metal bands should be in the R&R Hall of Fame they did have a big part in the whole decade of the 80s.
This video is so emotional. He did not know they were putting his best friend/bodyguard in the video. So you see his emotions come out. Great song 💕
I cried the first time I saw this video.
Obviously because of the story, but also because of Bret crying in the video when he's singing the line when he lost his friend on Christmas Eve 😢😭
I still cry sometimes to this song
But I also think that everyone can relate to this song in their own way, because everyone needs something to believe in. 🎸
Have a great day to everyone who reads this comment.
Never forget you are loved, appreciated and you are not alone with everything you're going through.
Keep believing in your dreams and most importantly in yourself 😊💕
Great song! And Jordan CC Deville is the guitarist, and he can play! That solo went with this song so well, it had so much meaning and it was so heartfelt, the whole song was brilliant and so personal to Bret. Every Rose has it's Thorn is also BEAUTIFUL. Those are 2 of their slower song's. But they have SO many more. Trust me! Keep playing them! Billy Joel and Kenny Loggins! U won't be disappointed!

“CC, pick up that guitar and TALK to me!” ❤
My favorite Poison song (although it's hard to pick a clear favorite). I think this is my favorite GUITAR SOLO. It's just above the solo for "I Remember You" by Skid Row. Amazing stuff! I miss the hair bands.
I was 16 , once I asked our ESL teacher about the meanig of the song, after she heard the song , she was about to break in tears, this was before internet, I told her I wanted to play guitar -... lol and sing like them!
She was a very good teacher!
I had a very expensive dictiaonary, It helped me a lot to understand the Lyrics of different songs , she gave tips to understand meanigs of songs and to understand the context,
I dont know why I just did this!!!
nice video°!!!
My dad did 3 tours(4 yrs) in Viet Nam, was wounded in combat(Purple heart)and chose to stay with his guys. I've never talked w him about it but I grew up with living through what he had to deal with. My mom had so much to put up with as well. I want to send him this song but I don't want to strike up his past. He's a proud Marine. I served(USAF)but never did what my dad did. Thankful for the way he brought me up!
This song gets me every time, especially the part about his best friend Kimo. Kimo became his best friend and confidante during their first major tour and it broke Bret up when he died. The emotion in this song is so raw. You can even hear it in C.C.’s solo.
yup, CC's solo sounds like crying, sobbing, and wailing at the end. the solo fit emotionally perfect with the song.
C.C DeVille killed the guitar work on this one....criminally underrated axe man.
Not really bro, he fits the band ok and that's about it
CC's solo's are generally epic "sounding" though...have no idea if he's a good guitar player, or not...doesn't really matter in regards to his skill level to someone that just wants to hear sonically pleasing material.
I didn't see this comment I wrote almost the same thing above.
My Dad and all three brothers were in the military during that time -- 3 did tours in Vietnam. Thankfully they all came back in one piece, and Jay's right, none of them would ever talk about it. I just laid my oldest brother to rest last year from lung cancer that he contracted from Agent Orange exposure. Thanks for a beautiful song reaction. 💙✌
My friend , the hand on your heart gesture brought a tear to my eye .
Here's another vote for "Every Rose Has It's Thorn". It's a slower one but you both will absolutely love it!!
I'm 54, so Poison is from my generation. Ever since the 80's heavy metal has been one of my 2 favorite music genres. Hair metal got me into metal, and I have moved onto more extreme versions like goth, black, and death. Us headbangers tend to put down the hair bands. Thank you for reminding me where it all started. It was groups like Poison that made hair metal rule the 80's. I caught them on the Ratt Poison tour where they were opening for Ratt. Ratt was the big name at the time but part way into their act, the audience started chanting for Poison to come back out. HAve you listened to their "Ride the Wind." Everyime the Army moved me, this was the song I'd start the trip with.
This song lives rent free in my head ....Thank you for both of your reactions for Something To Believe In . This is very much appreciated. God Bless you and your families

The song always makes me cry my eyes out. It wasn't Christmas Eve when I got the news and it wasn't Christmas Eve when it happened rather it was 4th of July weekend couple years ago but one of my best friends took his own life (he had served in the Navy and when he came home he was messed up in the head and got hooked on drugs real bad. I mean real bad drugs.) and every time I hear this song now it hits that much harder. Thank you ❤️ thank you for being amazing people and giving a lot of us about 10 minutes or so at a time a chance to just forget the world for a minute and listen to some great music together. Peace

Yes makes me cry as well
'If the cowards that decide the wars had to fight them, there would be no wars'
My uncle is a Vietnam vet, and he never talked about either. Except for one time, while on vacation, when he was drunk. It's funny how many of them are exactly the same in the fact they refuse to talk about it. The shit they went through, and how they were treated, was truly unbelievable.
This song came out when I was moving into a whole new territory of life. Kid to young adult. My best friends dad had just passed away from cancer and my parents would be divorced in a few months. It was pretty traumatic for my tender brain and soul. Life changed big time. And I have a memory of my brothers and my family friends sitting around watching this video on MTV after their dads funeral. Moments you just don't forget.
This song will always resonate with me as a daughter of a Vietnam vet, my dad wasn’t the same wen he came home and the flashbacks got too much and dangerous that he left us. We grew up without our dad. He passed away 12 years ago and I am so proud of him and will always hold him in high regard along w all the other vets
I can't tell you all how much this song helped me through the passing of my grandparents. There's nothing like turning it on, singing along to it, and letting you tears pour out with the lyrics. When my grandma passed away this past summer (RIP Lynn DeGrow!

We buried my grandmother today. She lived to be 97 years old. This song helped me release some emotions. Thank you. 🙏
Everything you ever wanted to know about this song:
The whole road crew was like a family by the time they finished touring for the second album "Open Up and Say... Ahh". Kimo, Poison's bodyguard, like all the other members of the crew had gotten heavy into drugs, alcohol, and women. Over the months that their third album, "Flesh & Blood" was being recorded, Kimo's health got consistantly worse. One day in late December of 1990, he died all alone in his Palm Springs hotel room. When Bret got the call on Christmas Eve, he went into hysterics. He locked himself in his room and didn't come out until this song was finished. It tells not only the life story of Kimo, but of Bret's cousin Bob who was wounded in Vietnam. The video for the song is equally as powerful. When Bret saw the image of Kimo on the screen, he lost his compsure and had to leave the set for several hours before coming back to finish his part. The video got 1st place in MTV's "World Series of Video" Peoples Choice Awards.
Bret Michael ROCKS! I LOVE Poison. This song has made me tear up every single time that I have heard this song. Such a great ballad. Lot's of truth in the song.
This is my favorite song by Poison. I just love this.❤❤❤
My Grandpa was a WWII Veteran. My father's a Vietnam Veteran. Songs about veterans always make me emotional. We are so blessed that we have men and women who give all they have and more to keep us free. God bless you for reacting to this song, and God bless America.
For those who were there...the 90's music club scene...the touring cover bands...our memories...we knew the end was coming, we knew the music was changing. We listened , to remember those times, to value our past, to sing along. Some of us did take the high road, while others took the low road. For us it was looking for that break, that moment in time that would forever change our lives. Today we are still lost, we are still searching.
My dad was a Naval Aviator for 27 years, with 3 tours in Viet Nam (2 as an attack pilot). I remember him coming home from one tour, landing in San Francisco. I went with my mother to pick him up at the airport. As we were walking in the airport (my dad in his dress white officer uniform), protesters were spitting on him and yelling "baby killer" and other things at him. My dad walked with his head high, with his arms around me and my mom. He didn't say a word, just kept walking. I was never prouder than at that moment. RIP dad, my hero.
Their best song, hands down.
This is my favorite Poison song. The story about "his friend" is a true story. One of my fav lines in a song. "Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now Things I didn't know then"
I was a senior in high school when this song came out, and hearing it takes me right back there.
every rose has its thorn and their cover of your momma dont dance r both great
This was played every hour on Mtv for I don't know how long...
But I still got goosebumps as soon as the piano started.
This is probably Poison's most important, and heartfelt songs. It's definitely the one with the best message to it. It really makes you ponder the unfairness and hypocrisy of life. How there has to be a better way/answer.
This song has always grabbed you by your heart strings and still does to this day 40 years later
I had a cousin that did 3 tours in Nam. I was just a very young child, about 5, and he was 18 when he did his first tour. I loved him so very much! I remember he woke me up to tell me goodbye on the morning he had to fly out and although I didn’t know where he was going or why, I cried and begged him not to go. He would never talk about that war and no one dared ask him. Dang! I’m crying right now, it’s such an emotional thing, knowing they were wronged in so many ways when they returned. Some of those boys got addicted to drugs while they were over there and others got addicted to drugs and alcohol when they came home: some of it from the atrocities they saw(and had to commit) while they were over there and some of it from the way they were treated when they returned home. It was a horrific war and they went to do what Uncle Sam told them they had to do. They were all super heroes and were ostracized when they stepped foot back on American soil. So damned sad. My son was in the USMC, he went to Fallujah, Iraq when he was 18 and I died a hundred times over while he was there, praying day and night that he made it home safely. Of course, there was a ticker tape parade when they returned home and I’m so thankful they weren’t treated like the poor boys that fought in Vietnam. To anyone out there that has served their country in any capacity, you have my eternal thanks and GOD BLESS YOU ALL TENFOLD! GOD BLESS AMERICA! 🇱🇷
I'm from the Hair Band era... this song is my all time favorite... just listen to the dang lyrics.. the music... its amazing... and still gives me chills every time.. My brother-in- committed suicide and my bf Dad also.. Vietnam messed them up. War is just a horrible thing.. even though we praise our military now.. what our Vietnam veterans went through is disgusting to me.. like in the song.. a time I don't remember but a war they can't forget.. my Uncles were there.. never talk about it.
In the 1980s, the vets were finally welcomed home in NYC. There is a beautiful wall on Water Street. There was a big ass parade. They were treated like the heros that they were. Still today, I thank anyone wearing a military hat for their service. Sometimes I get thanked back for recognizing them. It's sad. They all should be recognized.
I've never made it through this song without tears. My team sergeant was a tunnel rat in Vietnam. I remember him having nightmares about the tunnel collapsing. He never let it stop him from doing his job though. I was lucky to have such a man in my life. He turned me into the man I became and I'll be forever grateful. Agent Orange took him years too early. He's having a scotch at the big drop zone in the sky now. I'll see you soon brother.
'Every Rose has its Thorn' and 'Fallen Angel' are must listens.
In the song when Brett sings about the vet and his best friend dying, Brett had a security guard who had served in Vietnam who was a personal friend to Brett, and when he killed himself, Brett wrote this as a tribute to him
I had no idea how emotional songs like this were during my teenage years. Thanks to Rob Squad for showing me.
I am glad you did this song. My grandfather went to vietnam as well. It changed him forever. He never talked about the war. May god bless him. I hope to see him again one day. May god bless you all.
There is so much more to Bret Michaels than we see in his earlier songs. He’s not just a typical 80s glam rocker.
For another brutally honest song about the Vietnam war, check out Billy Joel “Goodnight Saigon”.
American veterans are indeed real life heroes. Thank you all for your service and sacrifice for our country. God bless.
I'm glad you guys mentioned the guitar solo. That and the continuation of his guitar afterwards in the background was just HAUNTING.
I found this in an article that gives a breakdown of the song:
The song is about two people in Bret Michael’s life. The first is his personal friend and bodyguard, James Kimo Maano or Kimo. Kimo got hooked up in the rock & roll lifestyle and with his abuse of drugs and alcohol, his life tragically ended early. When Bret found out, he was inspired to write this song as a tribute to his friend. When you watch the video of this song, you see an emotional Bret Michaels reacting to pictures that showed up on the TV of his friend. The Director of the video didn’t tell him the pictures were being used and it took Bret by surprise. It was a cruel trick, but it captured a real moment.
The other person is Bret’s cousin Bob who had been wounded in Vietnam and the song talks about his struggles mentally with what happened as well as the loss of so many of his cousin’s friends in the way. It paints a stark reality of the damage war can have on a person.
The whole song discusses reasons for Bret’s loss of faith whether it is from false prophets, the homeless, the impact of war or the loss of a close friend. The song paints such a graphic picture that you can’t help but be touched by it in some way. And depends on your mood when you listen, it could even bring a tear to your eyes.
My favorite of all their music. Its amazing all the meanings in this song.
God I love Poison so much one of my all time favorites! So underrated. People need to look past the makeup and the image and pay attention to their music. They wrote the best ballads. Something To Believe In is one of the most powerful songs ever. They don't make em like this anymore and it's sad. I love you guys!!!!
My father did 2 tours in the jungle...we was a changed man after that second tour..he never talked about it...he's 80 now after my ma passed in 2021 he started talkimg. To me..I now know why he never talked about it back then...he's the only man with any integrity that I know thanks pops for showing the right way...
What a beautiful reaction! I love Poison. Bret himself recovered from a massive stroke - and still gets up and continues to rock on and be a positive roll model for all :) Awesome! made my day!!
I’m 56 and I am a veteran and served in desert storm so I can relate and thank you for playing this video it’s so deep and thank you for your grandpa’s service yours too J God Bless
I saw them on this tour in 1991, and was awesome!!! Slaughter was the opening band, and they're awesome also.
I love the Gretch Chet Atkins country gentleman guitar that CC DeVille is playing in the video. Great instrument for soulful sounds.
my grandad was in ww2...thank you for your service good sir! Finally at peace. We had no idea as kids and just wanted to hear war stories....we found him crying in the bathroom. Never forget the vets!
Sometimes you’re surprised and sometimes it is more than that. This is more than that! Love this song.
This song was very personal to Bret Michaels. In the scene where he has screens around him in the video you can actually see his choke up if you pay attention. It is during the part where he sings "My best friend died a lonely man".......and when he sing "fades again you can see his mouth stopped moving cause he was choked up. He did not know when the music video was done that they were going to put pics of someone he loved who had passed away, they did that to get a real reaction, and they succeeded. This is a beautiful song
As a veteran, I really appreciated your thoughts on the matter, thank you. God bless America and y’all as well.
I can't believe after the number of times I've listened to this song. I still get teary-eyed listening to it with you for the first time. This is my favorite Poison song. Thank you for reacting.
Poison takes you all the way into Church with the song "Stand". They brought in a Baptist Choir that just takes you to the heavens. Its one of the few songs that has a different lead guitarist.
"Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now the things I didn't know then" -- one of my most favorite line of all time. Enjoyed watching your reaction to this awesome, timeless song.
C. C. DeVille is probably my favorite rock guitarist. He definitely has a unique style, and I always love his solos.
Love you guys 💗 love hair bands and this is one of my favorites from poison!!!! 🤘🏼✌🏻💗🥰🧡🎶
So much emotion, this song hits the feelings. So glad you did this!
My. Dad is American and is Vietnam vet and was physically attacked returning returning home. I am glad things have changed now. If you wouldn't mind expressing my gratitude for 5he service of your family.
He always dedicates this song to veterans and the troops at their shows too
Haven’t heard this song in so long, brings tears to my eyes instantly. I miss those days.
This song and Every Rose Has It’s Thorns are my two favorite Poison songs. Brett wrote to great ballads!
I think what I really love about this is that it's a ballad that isn't romantic. It's just about pain.
Love you two … really bring so much joy to your audience! Good color on you J 😊

If you're wanting to get to a harder Poison song, you have to try the title track from their very first album, the song they still use to open every concert, "Look What the Cat Dragged In." I've seen them in concert eight time dating back to 1991, and this was their opening song every single time. It was never released as a single, but God only knows why. It's the heaviest song I can remember from them, and my all time favorite. Or you might want to go with my second favorite song of theirs, "Fallen Angel." Others have mentioned "Every Rose has it's Thorn." It is definitely a pure power ballad and their only song to go all the way to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
I'm old enough to remember how our soldiers were treated when they returned from Vietnam. I was raised by WWII veterans (my grandmother and her brother), so I have a connection to "our boys", and it started very early in my life. At the time, I couldn't understand why "our boys" were treated like they were coming back from Vietnam. I saw the protests on the news, I saw people waiting at the airports spitting on them, calling them all sorts of vile names, and coming from that "World War II" family, I couldn't reconcile what was going on. I mean, I was still in single digits in age, and didn't understand it all. It would be many years before I learned more about what happened over there. I have friends who were there, and they also won't talk about it. I have a couple of friends who refused to go, because they were THAT against that conflict. It's not that they were "cowards", but they knew more about what was going on than many parts of the general public.
I'm an "early Gen-Xer".... I was born in February 1967. So Vietnam being on the news every night was part of my early childhood. Even the stuff we were shown was disturbing. Learning more about it later in life did help to explain things, but given what "our boys" had to deal with over there, it's no wonder many of them cracked.
Edit: Also, the line "Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now, things I didn't know then." really hits me hard. As someone who has been widowed (my first wife died of cancer in 2006), that line really hits hard. It's a perfect line about PTSD, which covers many different types of mental trauma.
“Some of the best solos come from ballads.” AMEN!
I consider this to be one of the great Gen X anthems. I remember when Vietnam vets were still young men. This song is just pure talent, and genius. Thanks!!!
This song charted on the Billboard Hot 100 charts on October 6, 1990 and it peaked at number 4 and this was there 9th hit single out of the 13 chart singles.
Heck yeah, love this song, glad you got around to it 👍🇺🇸⚜️🔥🔥🔥
