"The problem is the man in charge of you"
A new JJ Cale album came out recently. It features a subtle, mellow blues protest song that is as catchy and cool as anything he's ever done...

The Problem
J.j. Cale
(To Tulsa And Back)

Have you heard the news that's goin' round here
The man in charge has got to go
Cause he dances round the problem - boy
And the problem is the man in charge you know
Now, the young knows what I'm talking 'bout
It's a con in the old man's game
The man in charge he don't know what he's doing
He don't know the world has changed
Power seems to be so far up
The man on the street ain't got a clue
The high top cats running your life
Thinks the problem is me and you
Born in a time that has gone by
The old tell the young what to do
Have you heard the news that's goin' round here
The problem is the man in charge of you
The problem is the man in charge of you
Power seems to be so far up
The man on the street ain't got a clue
The high top cats running your life
Thinks the problem is me and you
Have you heard the news that's goin' round here
The man in charge has to go
The man in charge has got to go

2. John is a real treasure

That's what we call him here in the hometown, John. I am glad he's speaking out, I must go pick up the new disc.
