You don’t have to fight “to” be a man, but sometimes you have to fight “when” you’re a man. I love the distinction he presents in the song.

@btgiv6009 Жыл бұрын

I used to love this song... until I was grown and understood it. I'm not at all politically correct, but a song that uses a gang rape merely as a prop for a boy's coming-of-age story is just gross. There's no sympathy for Becky or the pain she was going through. It's all just sunshine and roses at the end because the gang rapists get beaten up and Tommy finds his courage. Becky? Eh, she'll be fine, I guess.

I think there is a really subtle distinction in the final chorus that rings so true and deep, and it's incredibly thoughtful songwriting. The main chorus goes "You don't have to fight to be a man," and the last chorus goes "Sometimes you gotta fight WHEN you're a man." You absolutely do not have to fight TO BE considered a man. Tommy was more man than any of those Gatlin brothers, even as a pacifist. But ultimately being able to stand up for yourself is expected and right, and there is a line that a man, or basically any human being in this world, won't want to be crossed. And sometimes you just gotta fight back (in whatever way you can).

@BillGraper Жыл бұрын

I also love the double meaning of the word "weak." First it's "it won't mean you're weak, if you turn the other cheek," and then, "please don't think I'm weak, I didn't turn the other cheek." Pretty neat, considering both are considered "weak" for opposite reasons.

When I was growing up, my Dad was adamant that I learn how to avoid fights and be a peacemaker. "Fighting doesn't help anyone" he's say. But he also made sure I knew how to defend myself, because -- in his words, "The best thing is to avoid a fight. The second best thing is to win the fight as quickly and as definitively and as brutally as you can, so that they never want to fight you again." And that's pretty much how It was for me. I've been in four fights in my life, and in each one, I made the guy fighting me pay for it. Even when I lost, the guy I was fighting paid for his victory.

What I take away from this song is that there is a time for turning the other cheek, and there's a time when you need to stand up for what's right. If someone spread rumors about you, let it roll off your back. If someone is messing with your kids, you do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love. I hope this makes sense to someone else.

A lesson that my Father taught me, and I know this is hardly original, was you don't start the fight,, but if someone does, be sure you finish it. But there was an addendum to that lesson. When it comes to your family, my Mom or my sister, sometimes you don't wait for them to start the fight. If someone is harassing or threatening my family, I will act first. I won't make my sister turn the other cheek

Grew up on Kenny Roger's Greatest Hits in the 8 track player while we all cleaned the house on Saturdays! Great memories, thank you. You MUST do his duet with Kim Carnes, the gravelly voiced female version of Kenny who sang "Bette Davis Eyes". Their duet is called "Dont Fall in Love With a Dreamer", which I BELIEVE she wrote, she wrote alot of songs for others. Also, I think its time to get back to some Mellencamp as I just bought tickets to his tour in 2023, one off the bucket list. You MUST do "Rain on the Scarecrow". A very poignant song from 1985, still poignant today.

Most people don't really register what happened to Becky until moments later, but Amber, you definitely caught it instantly. I've never seen someone's face change so fast. Love how intently you listen to the words and pick up these things. I think J caught it, too, but his face isn't always as expressive as yours:) Great reaction.

It's pretty touchy subject matter, but I think he sang it with such grace and respect i really hope my mention here doesn't offend anyone. Pretty antiquated language that might upset some but it really is, at its heart, just a touching tale of two outcasts connecting and becoming their own chosen family. I love it.

You can sort of think of her as a one hit wonder musically, but her fame comes from a long comedic acting career going all the way back to the Carol Burnett Show. She's probably best known for her Thelma "Mama" Harper character that she did on that show that ended up getting its own sitcom, "Mama's Family".

Absolutely one of my favorites. It just distinguishes the concept of what a real adult should know how to do and how to be. Man or woman. If someone hurts someone you love you have every right to defend them. A man if someone rapes your woman there's no doubt in my mind that you're going to stand up and let loose on the person that hurt her. As a parent if anyone harms your child you're going to stand up for them. Love definitely has a line and don't you dare cross it

Instant classic. Breaks your heart before it breaks through into greatness...don't care who ya are; along with *Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town* this tune gets ya right where ya live, although in entirely different ways... Speaking of the "Gatlin Boys", try: *All The Gold In California* by Larry Gatlin And The Gatlin Brothers Band So...country story songs: *One Piece At A Time* by Johnny Cash *The Credit Card Song* by Dick Feller *Ode To The Little Brown Shack Out Back* by Billy Edd Wheeler *Giddy Up Go* by Red Sovine *The Streak* by Ray Stevens *Cowboys Like Us* by George Strait *My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys* by Willie Nelson *You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive* by Brad Paisley *Deck Of Cards* by Tex Ritter *The Battle Of New Orleans* by Johnny Horton *Wolf Creek Pass* by C.W. McCall Thanks S.W.

I've seen Kenny Rogers live twice, once on my first big date with my girlfriend and once as stage crew. Really a fantastic artist.

I was lucky enough to meet Kenny Rogers. It was at this time of year. He happen to be a friend of my sisters friend. He was super nice. I can't remember the year, but he used to be Kenny Rogers and the First Edition. Would love to hear more Melloncamp. Thanks again for this smile.

I think Kenny has earned a place on the wall if you can find him.

Just like the Gambler, this song was turned into a TV movie. It also starred Kenny Rogers as the uncle who looked after Tommy. Incidentally, when The Gambler movie was released, it was extremely popular that they made made several sequels. Kenny played the title role. Kenny was also a member of the First Edition and had a 60s psychedlic song "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" where Kenny played bass
