Bear Fox Quote:

When I write a song, I run it by my family first. I have five children; I have one girl and four boys. My husband is an Iron Worker. I remember when I sang them ‘Rich Girl’ for the first time—my kids loved it. It made my daughter cry. When my husband heard it, he loved it, too. I remember he had me sit in the car with him. He had me practice the song. Over and over he had me sing the song to him. He wanted me to memorize it without using the paper. I must have sung it about 100 times in a row that night…”

Bruce Springsteen – Tribute to Harry Chapin

billjacobson — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 16:33:19 +0000

“there was a time when music provided you with a greater sense of unity… shared vision and purpose than it does today. My generation was going to change the world… somehow make it a little less lonely, a little less hungry, a little more just place… But it seems that that purpose slipped through our hands we didn’t replace it with nothing but lost faith. Times are shattered… maybe men are all not brothers… but Harry new it takes a lot more than love to survive. A sense of purpose of duty.. a good clear eye on the dirty ways of the world. so in keeping his promise with himself, he reminds us of our promise to our selves. his spirit would help us honor, remember, recommit… so…do something, and may his song be sung” quoted by Bruce
