Love Lucky Town, both the song and the entire album. Also love Human Touch. The song and most of the album (yes, I even really like Pony Boy...).

Watching the Western Stars movie. Wayfarer on now. Love this album so, so, SOOOOOO much.

I’m thinking we’re taking about two VERY different things... Look at the bolded text in the summary of the film. The word ‘grifter’ jumped out at me. Let’s just leave it at that.

Don’t know if your comment was sarcasm, but in case it’s not; based on the premise of the movie, it appears that it actually most definitely is...

Someone on Instagram said Bruce got the idea for the song based on the 1956 movie The Rainmaker. Based on the synopsis and after reading the lyrics, plus Bruce’s love for old movies, sounds feasible. The poster also added a comment about the movie made in vista-vision (are there tainted women in the movie???), as well as a political comment that cannot be repeated.... Synopsis of the movie for those (like myself) who are not familiar: Description During the Great Depression, a drought is wreaking havoc on a small, destitute Kansas town. Bill Starbuck (Burt Lancaster), a slick grifter, arrives in town, promising he can make it rain in exchange for $100. His offer is accepted by H. C. Curry (Cameron Prudhomme), a rancher whose spinster daughter, Lizzie (Katharine Hepburn), is desperate for a suitor. Lizzie finally finds confidence when Starbuck, ever the smooth talker, convinces her she's beautiful.

... my amazing, wonderful husband.

Meeee tooo!!! Lucky you...!!

You beat me to it! Absolutely LOVE both Be True and Loose Ends...

Much as I love albums with ‘themes,’ and/or specific genres/styles; nothing wrong IMO with albums/collections such as Tracks, High Hopes, the various outtakes albums, etc... I also LOVE I’ll Stand By You Always (as does Mr RJM). Also wish he’d have put Protection on something...

So sorry to hear this. Of course I’m very glad to hear that thus far she’s ok; and of course we all hope she remains healthy.

Exactly right Jim.

Agree. Was also very happy to hear from someone in the know (a very close friend of Steve’s) that it was recorded BEFORE the pandemic hit. Great seeing them together, and yes, reminders of hopefully better days ahead.

Agree, and I interpreted it the same way...

Yes ma’am!!! Listened to it a few times already! Love it!
