He sang the song "Your Flag Decal Won't Get You into Heaven Anymore" (a "protest" song of an earlier era). He said he was bringing the song back from retirement because of demand. Not a formal request, he said, but the times "sure was asking for it."] Jim Devine <<<<<>>>>>
as rock and rap confidential points out, jp was funniest, most genial, and working class of early 70s 'singer-songwriters', in addition to 'flag decal', much of first album is relevant in the present - 'illegal smile' and its reference to a judge named hoffman (as in julius), 'hello in there' about elderly, 'sam stone' about returning vet, 'paradise' about mining company ravages, ... a cancer survivor, new album is his first in years, pretty swell effort too, still has an edge, as he writes in 'crazy as a loon': i got hired monday morning, downsized that afternoon... michael hoover -------------------------------------------------------------- Please Note: Due to Florida's very broad public records law, most written communications to or from College employees regarding College business are public records, available to the public and media upon request.
