Oklahoma and Bush.....

This morning on the towpath my dad played the new JJ Cale album, and us dogs heard this song called 'The Problem'. How we laughed. This 66 year old man from Oklahoma sure explains things in a way us dogs can understand.

THE PROBLEM:

Have you heard the news that's goin' round here
The man in charge has got to go
Cause he dances round the problem - boy
And the problem is the man in charge you know

Now, the young knows what I'm talking 'bout
It's a con in the old man's game
The man in charge he don't know what he's doing
He don't know the world has changed

Power seems to be so far up
The man on the street ain't got a clue
The high top cats running your life
Thinks the problem is me and you

Born in a time that has gone by
The old tell the young what to do
Have you heard the news that's goin' round here
The problem is the man in charge of you
The problem is the man in charge of you

Have you heard the news that's goin' round here
The man in charge has to go
The man in charge has got to go

...

Mr Cale, the dogs of Riverbank salute you (Except for Max who says 'You are the problem and if you try singing your song round these parts he will show you the solution.') I dont think you need worry too much though because there's more of us than him.
