Like anyone who happens to look, I see the signs of a failing economy all over the Country. This song is a effort to encourage folks to struggle for a more open and equitable system for the financial benefit of all of us.
Any resemblance to the Yiddish word Chutzpah is of the purest intent. With a doff of the hat to Sheldon Alan "Shel" Silverstein ...and Mad magazine for all of their influences. that indeed did rot my brain
There's a definite degree of a Bob Dylan element in this one. I like the flavor, the lyrics, the energy. You remain one of my very favorite Folk songwriter!
The struggle continues for the decent working folks to survive in a world run by "greed graft and corruption." which by a strange coincidence is the law firm that represents most of the enemy's.
This is a mess but when we tried to clean it up it killed the spirit of it so we decided to just take off our critics hat and just enjoy the energy of it.
FOREVER by James Michael Taylor
My baby say she loves me. Gonna love me forever…
Dogend Dave he's ok picks up the shit we throw away
Cigarette buts, bottles and cans
He cashes them in for a couple of pounds
He don't care what the people think
He don't wash much so he kinda stinks
But he smiles like a gentleman
And…

I created this for the film DARK BLOOD.
The film River Phoenix was working on when he died.

I edited the original because it was a bit long and it didn't need to be that length, so I chopped the 'crap' bits out, they had served their purpose.

You think you know what you’re talking about
You get your way when you scream and shout
Look all around, you’ll find someone to blame

A NON Banjo-centric song that pokes a bit of fun at the zaniness of the 1980s.
This is the G-rated version. There is a PG-13 version with one additional verse which contains some unvarnished language. You can get that version on my site…

Very nice. Like a continuation of CITY OF NEW ORLEANS
Good story telling and fun to hear the banjo.
Greg Connor RULES! But so do you! ;)
Looney Toon characters like Bugs Bunny are the masters of Chutzpah.
Still digging it!
<3
Nice tune!
Ahhh -- you're a heart-filled, marvelous songwriter. Rock on!
Fun!
You tell 'em, Bear!
Love it!
Great job!
Beautifully written and performed, but what a sad truth you've expressed!
I'm winking right back at you . . . *Birds of a feather*.
Sure does ......

When down and out, eats the rich and laughs at the rats in the race.it's a nice a place.
Fun and creative your are a true master.
I agree with thems what say this is a great piece of work and one of The best of the Greg songs.
I think I saw someone else saying Oh lord how long.
Suppin' tells me this is gonna hurt,
grizzly man pure griz.
A good piece of work I can easily hear this asd a song behind a film or TV offering.
Oh how we love to add to our troubles.
Rattling up them ole bones.
Here's a rip snorter.!
