  3. Indeed, Bukko. I sort of feel sorry for John, in a way. He wrote one album that was a work of genius, his first, and everything else has been an appendix to that.

  5. That no matter how clean it might be to burn "clean coal", extracting it from the ground still destroys irreplaceable natural resources. Especially with the current "clear-topping" being done to extract coal, where the entire tops of mountains are shoved into the scenic valleys between mountains to expose the coal undreneath.

    Watch the video and listen to the song again, 'k?
