My guitar teacher used to play at wineries in Napa along with teaching. He was essentially a starving musician, hustling to get by.
Watching a very well fed musician with a Reese's shirt on making more money than he made with sloppy playing and a dismissive attitude to a well crafted song without leaving the house might bother him a bit I guess.
This guy is right. It is one of Alan's more accessible songs which is why it hooked me and made me want to learn it and explore more. It worked. 99% of Alan's songs wouldn't interest me if I didn't play guitar.
