“They passed a law in ‘64 to give those who ain’t got a little more, but it only goes so far.” What an incredibly powerful and important lyric.

But it's the next line that's important: "the law don't change another's mind." We see that now with things like abortion and gay marriage, and sadly, still 60 years later, racism: you can make something legal or illegal, but that doesn't change people's feelings and the way they act on those feelings.

Bruce did a very nice thing. When the Grateful Dead lost our beloved Brent Mydland (the Deads 3rd keyboardist to pass), Bruce joined the band to get us through.

Hornsby was from Virginia. He wrote a lot about racism in the south in a thoughtful - not preachy- manner. And he’s an absolutely amazing pianist. More of Bruce please.

The difference between "Changes" and "The Way It Is" by Bruce is his positive message. You'll notice after he sings "that's just the way it is" he sings "oh don't you believe it". He believed things could change!

I like your work and attitude and hope some of the negative comments on this one do not get to you personally. It takes big balls or a complete lack of sensitivity to come onto a gifted young black man’s channel and complain about rappers. You have bent over backwards to immerse yourself in popular music performed by bands long before you were born. I appreciate that a great deal, young man.

My mom used to tell me stories of when I was a little kid they had drinking fountains for whites and another for "colored." I'm 65 now and things have changed somewhat but we still have a way to go. The best line in this songs says, "but don't you believe them." This song is as perfect as a song gets. The lyrics are spitting truth but that piano is incredible! One of my all time favorites. Great reaction as usual Shon.

Dude! Ive watched a lot of reactors, much less now than i used to but youre one of the few i still watch and thats for a reason: Youre one of the most eloquent, insightful, well-read reactors ive ever seen. You have the most basic, budget setup and yet you consistently produce actual content of the highest quality. Ive touched on this briefly before but you just keep on doing it over and over.

I agree! And I consider myself a bit of a reactor connoisseur! 😂 I have a background in music and the 80s/90s music industry, so I find it fascinating to see the younger generations react to this music. At the same time, I’ve discovered some great newer bands like Nothing But Thieves, Muse, Betcha and more.

Completely agree. I’ve said this before, but I never thought my favorite reactor would be some shirtless dude, half my age, with an infectious smile and positive attitude. But, here I am. His insights are a breath of fresh air to this slightly curmudgeonly, middle aged, sarcastic guy.

Fantastic song. The most important line is "Dont you believe them." Saying Don't believe those that say things will never change. You have to believe in change, for change to happen. You obviously also have to work for it, probably fight for it, but change can happen. Love the song, and your reactions. Also, I hope you do Mandolin Rain as well, if you have not already, as it is another amazing song.

Have seen him play live many times. He is truly amazing. The way he uses syncopation and the piano as both a melodic and a percussion instrument just blows me away. Sometimes he makes you feel like there are actually 4 hands playing, rather than two. Not to mention he has a great voice, as well, and plays many genres even within a single show.

Hey hello. About 1-2 months ago I started watching reaction videos of artists I like. I've often ended up on your channel. Well, I noticed that hardly anyone reacts to one of the greatest music legends of all time. Isn't Adriano Celentano known in the USA? You have a lot of Italian immigrants! I'm pretty sure that every Italian in the world knows Ardiano Celentao's song: "Il Ragazzo della via gluck" by heart, like about 70-80% of all southern and central Europeans. He was not only an outstanding musician and songwriter, but also a celebrated film star. It's probably no exaggeration to say that Adriano Celentano has the same status in Italy as Elvis in the USA. Just like Elvis, there are Adriano Celentano doubles in Italy. I find it just as strange that there is no reaction to L'italiano by Toto Cutugno, who wrote something like the unofficial national anthem of Italy with this song. The two have millions of views on KZfaq but no reaction! Why? Best wishes from Switzerland
