  • Grayson from The Deserttheir best song
  • Lethe from ErisdottirHey, 1992 and 2013? This is 2019 asking you to hold my beer.
  • Johnnys Cousin Steve from Villas, NjThis is an awesome kind of forgotten song. Dave Pirner is an excellent songwriter....definitely top in the 90's. I never cared for the line "black soldier in a white fight"...still love the tune.
  • Nick from Arlington Heights, IlTragically, this song is a lot more poignant now in 2008 then it was when it was released in 1992. There are now far too many Iraq vets who are in wheelchairs with so much left to do with their lives.
