WOW!!! The first time I heard this song was when I saw the dead in the summer of 2004 when Warren was touring with them. I was so pissed when I first heard this song...It was Jerry's B-day and the boys were on definately playing a set dedicated to their fallen brother, and as an encore they played this! I was very upset at the time for the simple fact that they played a Warren Haynes song as an encore of a dead show...but I've been listening to this song a lot more and its beautiful! It's a surprise to me that no one has commented on this song. It's about someone who is the real thing, meaning that lives up to expectations and is plagued by the expectations...hence why "when you know you got it coming it ain't no crime!" This song was probably heavily influenced by the dead even tho Warren wasn't a huge fan of theirs but Jerry seems like an honorable person to apply to this song and it makes me understand why it was played as an encore that night!
