Synopsis

Product Description
While Childish Things isn't an overtly political record, the centerpiece has to be "We Can't Make It Here," McMurtry's commentary on the current state of the union. "I've always been a little put off by activists. So you know it's a dire situation when I have to become one myself," he explains. McMurtry made the song available as a free download on his website during the 2004 election. The response to the track was immediate and overwhelming and the song continues to be one of the most requested on stations across the country. Stephen King described the song as "stark and wrenchingly direct, this may be the best American protest song since (Bob Dylan's) 'Masters of War.'" Childish Things marks the first time the track will be available on disc without FCC-sensitive words censored.
