What do you think of this song?
I love it and I consider it their most underrated song. It's completely genius, outstanding lyrics, great arrangements, epic guitar solo.

It's brilliant!! Drumming is fantastic and a great sounding kit. Guitars are superb and love the 2 delay section. It's a fun one to play.

Always loved that song. Wish BM still wrote stuff like this and of the same quality!

Agreed 100%.
Bri literally hasn't write anything clever for a good 20 years now.

To be honest, I don't really like that song. It's not bad, it's just... I can't put my finger on it. It's the song I like the least on ADATR.

I like the song a lot but... "outstanding lyrics"? Not so much.

I agree... 'oustanding' is way too much. They're not cringeworthy (unlike 'Sweet Lady') and a couple of lines might be 'good' or even 'very good' but certainly not 'oustanding.'
Brian was (and I suppose still is) a good lyricist, but he's a hell of a lot better as composer, arranger, producer, singer, guitarist and pianist.

'A man who learned how to teach, then forgot how to learn' is a brilliant line. I actually plagiarised it once at school and the teacher was a little bit in awe of me... :/

it's not a great song. and the treatment of the Native American has been written and sung about much better

These are all excellent tracks in my books.
Of course he's decades past his creative peak, and I'm sure he's the first person to realize it. But at least he's doing new and different things instead of making albums nobody wants to hear, like Aerosmith and Kiss.

Great song and lyric.
He would do new solo albums instead that "new and different things"...

Even if they were, that's three excellent tracks in two decades, nothing compared to the era where he routinely wrote, averagely, three excellent tracks per year.
