Stunning presence! Love those blue notes on the vocals and that little repetitive part of the guitar riff- so pretty and delicate

really great recording and song Bruce, I love it when a song draws you in subtlety, it's a fine art.👌

Incredible lyrics, so true and well written

nice song.......loving the country/folk vibes

You've successfully touched a nerve here.  I couldn't help but think of John the Baptist asking Jesus the very same question.  You have a perfect delivery and style for this piece of Americana.

Big change over many years this is very poignant

I never get tired of listening to this one...seems new again as I head out to vote in the NH primary today

Early in this new century, an increasing number of (theretofore relatively passive) Americans began to grow leery of the "progress" they were seeing in society.  To them, it felt not like progress, but more an erosion, or even a distortion - specifically, disortion in society's institutions: education, entertainment, government, business, media, and just culture in general.  In 2016, these frustrated Americans managed to elect a president who spoke to their concerns. 

Contrary to media narrative, the vast majority of the new president's supporters were (and are) fully aware of his faults, but they had learned through past failures that this media machine would crush any ordinary candidate, or president.

In this song, written in the fall of 2020, I try to make a case, not for the enigma / phenomenon that is our most recent past US president, but for the people who had finally learned that trying to please or appease wasn't working.  Somebody needed to come in and break things.
