@[Urban:22159] Cannibal consider Jim Martin's situation, what he achieved and achieves in life (both personal and professional, at least music) and then, tell me if Jim is a "loser". |

@[Lateral:22158].Us particularly original voice and singing, very original crooner, sort of crooning mixed with Jim Martin's vocal characteristics. |

@[jp410:22155] good news : the man evoked in that song is now 56 years old, lives with his wife (probably not a "scarecrow" though !) and family, is a talented musician, recorded albums, live shows on stage, has a musical legacy you probably know without possibly know and seems to have a quite pleasant life. |

@[poncho524:22152] "theres something about this song that i just find really saddening. sure it's half-novelty because of the goofiness of it. but these lyrics are very telling." just like many writers think about persons, situations and anecdotes they know, their entourage, everyday life, people they discover, met, etc, certain singers find inspiration in their everyday life and people they know or anecdotes to write certain songs and lyrics. at least it was the case for "RV" : it's a caricature of Jim Martin (his voice, everyday life and anecdotes (tv, food, beer for example) and the notion of "conservatism", a man who would have a lack of intellectual and cultural level and curiosity (not being (apparently) interested in other countries, cultures and regions of the world (so except the USA) ("nobody speaks english anymore"), etc (and people who are called (like certain persons said here) "white trash"). and the rest is "just a song, art, etc". |
