Tonight's entry in my ongoing quest to increase the MOG's exposure to John Hiatt's excellent is "Perfectly Good Guitar”, from the 1993 album by the same title. This cut is a great bit of hard rocking social commentary with a catchy chorus to boot.

I am counting on you to post TON of John Hiatt stuff - DON"T HOLD BACK! Loved these tunes, hadn't heard the Perfectly Good Guitar before...I liked the part about his mother buying him his first (cheap) guitar...mine was a Stella (I think Sears made them!) and the strings were about an inch off the fretboard, but I played that darn thing til my fingers bled.

Sweet! I love this album! And I never hear anyone talk about John Hiatt, so it's awesome to see that you even mentioned this.

Roger on the lyrics -- the guy is a master.
Two favorite lines of mine from a song off this same record called "Buffalo River Home":
But I forget what they areIt works better in context, of course, but still that's killer stuff. To me.
