Description:
Folk and country music were what first attracted me to the guitar. A nice change of pace from the classical and jazz I’d grown up with. So...this tune’s a trip back to my roots. Especially in that I wrote lyrics to it, too (a happy return, in my life).
For anyone that doesn’t know: NPR stands for National Public Radio...and I’ve got absolutely no bone to pick with them. I actually tune in quite often. But, I’m a “truth in reporting” kinda guy and have done my best to paint the picture as best and accurately as possible in this, my humble offering to the public ...
Major thanks to my good friend and musical compatriot, ziti, for the freebie GB101 chat classes. Means the world to me, Fran...
Special thanks, also, to all who answered my forum post on mastering, along with Lisa and Tobin. Cool stuff.
And to Miguel and Simon for fostering such a great space for musicians to share and grow. Cheers, guys...
Oh....and to Ava and Josie for speaking up and inspiring this tune, of course.
Lyrics:
The Evening News
Music and lyrics by Bob Prince
Back seat of an automobile.
Grandpa Barry sittin’ at the wheel.
Ava and Josie sit with me in the back.
Grandma’s ridin’ shotgun:
“yakkity yak”.
Not much happenin’ as the trees roll by,
except the awesome scenery and the sunny blue sky.
Grandpa switches on the radio.
It’s NPR.
uh oh
Death and destruction
fires out west.
A boy stabs his sister right in the chest.
Got the kids attention
can’t do anything but.
It’s just about as subtle
as a ten ton truck.
In Israel
there’s a missile attack.
Two little kids: direct hit in the back.
Josie’s lip’s a treblin’
Ava’s lookin’ real beat.
Two frozen popsicles meltin’ into their seats.
The frown drown drones it’s perpetual diss
‘till Ava says, “Do we have to listen to this”?
The vacuum in the car; you can hear the wheels roll.
Me thinks it’s time to do
some damage control.
We tell ‘em that the world ain’t really so bad.
“There’’s plenty of things that’ll make ya feel glad”.
The kids don’t wanna hear none of that “pc” crap.
They’ve brought a magazine with a positive rap.
Bright colors and pictures
fill up the page.
A pet alligator that’s not kept in a cage.
Now they’re all excited
‘cuz they’re readin’ about
a dog who saves his master from a sure fire out.
Laughin’ and gigglin’...
things are lookin’ upbeat!
The kind of situation
you’re just dying to meet.
The grownups we’re a smilin’
thinkin’, “this is real cute”.
I think we should get fitted
for a straight jacket suit.
Instrumental
You can’t escape the news, you hear it everywhere.
Like the muzak that you hear in a dentist’s chair.
Kid’s minds are blank pages lookin’ for positive ink.
The stuff they see and hear affects how they think.
The news paints a world that’s filled with chaos and fear,
leavin’ out the good that grown-ups don’t care to hear.
But there’s one way we can kick the bad vibes outta town:
Turn the darn thing off, when the kids are around.

fine pickin &mdash 07/28/07 - 10:24:36 AM
The music belies the message and its a neat juxposition. The lyrics are great, and the guitar work sounds sweet. Fab slide! [ Reply to This ]
Thanks KTB... &mdash 07/28/07 - 05:13:02 PM
...and, yeah...my idea, from the start, was to have a nice, sweet country type thang dealing with, what I feel is, a serious subject. We were, after all, riding rural Vermont.
Bludgeoning the audience into submission doesn't seem to really do the trick, anyway...does it?
Glad ya liked it...

Hey Arlo! &mdash 07/28/07 - 10:46:17 AM
Great tune Bob, very authentic folk song. Seems like you got the GB thing figured out... your guitar and voice are crisp and clear. I love your guitar playing... and a real nice second guitar with the cool solo morph into in solo #2... great stuff! I fav'd this based on reading the lyrics along. Well said and well sung.
Now I am off to get a bite to eat over at Alice's... [ Reply to This ]
When I was a teenager... &mdash 07/28/07 - 05:32:15 PM
...I figured out how to play "Alice's Restaurant". I was so proud of myself. But then everyone would want me to sing/talk it, too. A WHOLE 'nother ballgame.
So...I'd switch to "I don't want a pickle...jes' wanna ride on mah motorsicle". Much easier.
;-)
I loved Arlo. Guy could play and write. Wonderful stuff. Definitely one of my influences...as you see.
Glad you liked this, Dadai.

This is great. At first, I just listened to the whimsical side- it first reminded me of Alice's Restaurant. Then the message kicked in. Wow, so true.... We're surrounded by bad news, and i hadn't really thought of how it might be affecting the kids when I listened to it.I'm gonna turn the darn thing off when they're around. Your guitar playing, vox, and mixingf skills are awesome.:-) [ Reply to This ]
ps &mdash 07/28/07 - 10:54:19 AM
What was so funny to me was that this brought back memories of being a kid and living at my grandparents' house. My grandma would listen to the nightly news about how some woman 2,000 miles away got killed or about a tornado on the other side of the world, then she would freat for hours. We definitely need to hear news reports about good stuff, at least once a year...

WOW &mdash 07/30/07 - 04:37:27 PM
I used to go to the Philly folk Fest, too, many moons ago. I met Joan Baez, Jerry Jeff Walker, Dave Bromberg (remember the Bullfrog song??) andf many others. I worked at the food tent to get a backstage pass. I'll always rtemember those fun summers, even the one when a mini hurricane blerw down the tent in the middle of the night. What a muddy mess that weas! But for the music, it was all worth it.

I love this place! [ Reply to This ]
Well well well &mdash 08/01/07 - 03:07:12 PM
I was at the one with the mini hurricane, too. Slept in the car that night, after the tent practically floated away.
Great festival that year, though. First time I'd seen/heard of Tony Rice. He was jamming with Bromberg, who just stopped after awhile and stood back, in awe. Unbelieveable player (and I love Bromberg. He was brought up a few miles away from where I was).
Dave van Ronk gave a wonderful, extremely memorable show at that concert, too.
Sounds like you were on the pulse there. Nice memories, eh?

Great &mdash 07/28/07 - 05:06:05 PM
A lovely thing. And do I have to tell you I digged the guitar solo?
Well I did!
Was sittin i a dentists chair the other day, and their radio played music I guess most MJers would have agreed to put it under genre "crap music". But the dentist and the assistant didn't react. They didn't show the natural reaction to go try find something better to play, or turn it off. They showed no reaction whatsoever as songs came and went.
Well, I must say I am a sinner too. I often use the Swedish public radio for information soruce while workin in the kitchen. And I admit - thank you for the reminder - that the kids unfortunately hear things they'd better not. I will be more careful from now, and turn the thing off. [ Reply to This ]
It's so easy... &mdash 07/29/07 - 06:52:50 AM
...to just switch it on and put it in the background. Strange how it's become that way for so many of us.
"Funny" story about the dentist: I was in for a really long bridge setting session and the guy who was working on me had the radio set to an ultra right-wing talk show. Complete with hate filled phone ins. Background drone for the dentist. Physical and mental horror for me.
After awhile I decided not to be polite and I asked him to please change the station. Which he did. Right to your favorite "easy listening" stuff. Classic musical nothing. I actually enjoyed it, given the other option.
Thanks for the listen, Johannes. Keep on pickin', friend.

Not my natural habitat, musically &mdash 07/28/07 - 05:28:16 PM
but what the heck, those lyrics just blew me away! I'll sign for that any day. I too think that a lot less terrible things would happen if media didn't drown us in it all the time. Many sick people catch on to that and think they can do similar things. It desperatley needs some balancing, anyway. Serious positive news...
Yeah, and very well sung and performed as well. Great!
BTW, heard on the radio news today that two news helicopters crashed while covering a car chase or something, and that other helicopters were there too and got it on tape. I feel for the "victims" of course, but how sick is it to send a hole bunch of helicopters in that way, covering the same story?! If it's such a big deal the networks could buy from each other. Sorry, got a bit upset there... [ Reply to This ]
Let's talk, brother... &mdash 07/28/07 - 09:28:42 PM
...I used to live in Tucson, Arizona. Just came back from a stunning day hike in the desert with my friend, Britt. Switched on the news.
Story about some poor little kid in Ohio (thousands of miles away) who fell out of a 2nd floor window onto a sharp steel fence. Video footage of the fence.
"That's nice...", said Britt. "Now, why, exactly, did I need to know about that?".
It's out of control and your thoughts about the helicoptors capitalizes it in a huge way. Wish we could change it all by talking like this. Wouldn't that be nice?
Looking forward to checking out your music.

I have... &mdash 07/29/07 - 12:42:14 PM
..another idea: just shut off the radio altogether! (I just got FX radio in my car. What a difference. Now I can listen to MUSIC w/o comment. Bliss...)
What a great idea: a sweet clippity-clop tune and a poignant lyric. What a wonderful marriage. And your vocal is so down-to-earth. It just all works well, Bob.
Guitar solo bridge is right up to your usual exquisite style and impeccable playing. Ah...what a joy to hear your instrument played so beautifully. You never fail.
Anyway, this is a delightful piece that tells a pretty strong story: a nice clip of life that is well-expressed and ingeniously conceived. A Great listen.

Malice's Restaurant isn't in the newsrooms --- it's out on the streets. The world is what it is and some of it isn't very pretty. While the news biz is sliding ever-more-rapidly into the Tabloid Zone, it's still better to teach kids to discern the differences between good and bad, than to teach them to ignore the unpleasant things that happen in our world.
The GOOD news is... there's some very nice guitar work in this ditty. Nicely done. Much that reminds me of Arlo Guthrie and others.
Love that National sound. ;)

Hi Joe &mdash 07/30/07 - 05:51:32 AM
I'm glad you're into the guits.
I gave a lot of thought to the valildity of my ideas/lyrics on this one. I understand your point and gave it quite a lot of thought while writing this and before posting.
Gotta say that it just makes no sense, to me, to subject little kids who only see in "black and white" to bombardments of sensationalistic media garbage, hour after hour. Better to let them see the world in a positive light (if possible...life can sincerely suck, can't it?) from the gitgo so they can, hopefully, help to create a more positive world in the future. A basic mindset.
I mean...these kids were bummin'. What's the deal with the news, anyway? Why's it got to be on all the time? Just my humble...but I just think it's become a constant companion that would better be served as an occasional visitor.

I'm loving that this has such an authentic vibe... your story telling is excellent... the guitars are superb.. you've already established your mastery there... but I'm loving that you can take your guitar in any direction... you are completely comfortable in each genre... and the advice in this perfectly written piece has already been taken here...

Thanks, Scott... &mdash 07/30/07 - 09:07:08 AM
...I'm really happy that you like the playing and the tune.
It's an interesting and very valid point that Joe makes (take a trip above, a couple of steps). I'd thought quite a bit about. How do we best serve the next generation? Should we expose them to the media's interpretation of the world (bad/good/in between) on a fairly consistent (or constant) basis? Does this, at an early age, teach little kids to discern between good/bad/important/not important? Does it teach them that there is bad in this world and give them the strength they'll need to survive and still maintain a positive edge throughout their lives?
Or does it create, perpetuate, and nurture a negative mindset about the world that will be hard to shake as time goes by? A culture of fear. A reason to continue to tune in and "be informed" (often a subjective term) in this the "information age".
The media's so intense and relentless. Not long after 9/11, many psychologists said that the constant repetition of the crash footage was bad news for the kids. We were glued to the TV. Apparently, kids thought that there was a new plane crashing in everytime they saw it.
Obviously, I tend to lean towards the latter on this one...though it's certainly not even close to a 100% decision. There's a lot of sides to the debate. I'm actually considering opening up a discussion about it on the Forum Posts if there are more naysayers. I'm such a newbie on writing lyrics. How they affect other people is unique and uncharted territory for me.

the problem for me is that "the news" is a business... bottom line for them is "are we competitive for the advertising dollars... so I'm not really expecting ballance from them... but i do think that in dealing with our kids... balance is the key... do I want my kids to be completely uninformed.. no... but kids shape their world view primarily from their experience... Stability at home will be the #1 factor... If they receive plenty of love... I think little doses of reality will do little harm... but it must be interpreted..

yes &mdash 07/30/07 - 09:31:46 AM
Dug the picking and the message, even though I'm somewhat conflicted about it. Suppose it would depend upon what age group we are speaking of. Do we listen with them and answer their questions, or do we raise them in a bubble?
But, on a vacation roadtrip, yeah, definitely. Why wreck vacation time with the whole matter. Vacation is vacation. Also up to a certain age, I would wait till they are capable of handling the bad news.
Enjoyed thoroughly, your Arlo like take on this one.
[ Reply to This ]
Yeah... &mdash 07/30/07 - 10:05:56 AM
...have you read the above responses (starting with Joe's)? It's definitely an issue with a lot of slants to it.
The kids were 7 and 5. It was vacation time. There's a whole 'nother story about it, too, as far as how I revised it. But let's leave it at that, for now.
Among other things, I agree with Scott: I'm concerned about the sources of our information and their methods and motives. I don't want and haven't had my daughter brought up in a vacuum. But there's something about the status quo which just doesn't always ring true in my world.
YeeeeHawwww!!!
Glad you liked tune, damien. I used to play this style quite a bit, long time ago. The hook/opening stanza is the same as "Alice's...". Feel like that colors the rest of the tune...even though the melody and chord/note patterns are different.

Good Idea &mdash 07/30/07 - 10:07:57 AM
Bob, great song! Love the music and the lyrics are colorful. For a guy who's a "newby on writing lyrics," I think you did a fantastic job here. I think that your going forward with the forum debate is a good idea because I think that you've touched on something here that needs further discussion: Are we really doing our children a good service or a bad service by shielding them from the myriad sources of media that, seemingly in most cases, have nothing to report but bad news? My own personal response is not to "turn the darn [radio] off." Children will inevitably be exposed to the bad news, anyway. So how much more effective is it that they have things explained to them or have their questions answered by a parent or guardian than by some other third party, such as fellow classmates, teachers, men behind pulpits, complete strangers, or more media? Sure, some of those types of people can provide sound guidance and instruction. But we cannot be naive in thinking that all of them do or will. So, as the saying goes, "nip it in the bud" when opportunity arises. Being present while our children are being exposed to these things offers such opportunities. Of course, I'm not one to talk because I don't even listen to or watch the news, to begin with. It's just too damn depressing.
Great song, though! [ Reply to This ]

Love the lyrics and your delivery - having kids myself - the message really connects. Your playing is mighty fine and the slide work in the break is sublime. Can't fault the production one bit - this is about as good as it gets to my ears. Someone mentioned Arlo - but I hear a little more David Bromberg. Excellent post - thanks for sharing.

Ah, the good, bad and ugly, the world... &mdash 07/30/07 - 10:48:30 AM
The music and singing were an absolute delight, crystal clear recording, great mixing. Your guitar-playing here was a joy, and your singing voice is wonderful (and yes, there's definitely an "Alice's Restaurant" vibe going strong there, but not a bad thing at all.) As for the "message" in the lyrics, heh, yes, you'll get a lot of controversial opinions about "how to parent" on that one :-) Parenting is tricky, especially in a world full of sensationalist news-reporting. But mostly, it *is* the real world out there, and kids have to be slowly taught about more and more of the good/bad of it as they grow older and can handle it, whether the parents are ready to teach it or not. And as a parent, I would prefer to be the one to teach my child about some of the terrible stuff out there, before her friends teach her. And having grandparents sabotage your parenting is another touchy subject you hint at here. Anyway, I agree that keeping the news-hyperbole (and MTV and TV commercials) away from young children is a good idea, but you gotta start having "the talks" about the real world as they get older. Brave singing about tricky subjects, fellow dad! :-)
