When this song came out in '86 I was a senior in High School.. I'm black, I come from a mostly all black high school. I'm a teen of the 80's and in the 70's I grew up on R&B. It's in my DNA. But Fortunately for me I'm a lover of GOOD MUSIC AND GOOD MUSICIANSHIP. I've never just listen to one genre of music. Even as a kid I was listening to Steely Dan, Led Zepplin, The Police, U2 just to name a few. Some of my friends thought I was strange because I listen to Pop and rock, but I was better for it. So when Hip Hop got going I would tell my friends that these samples come from a lot of Pop and Rock songs. I took pride in that. So now I'm not so strange but astute when it comes to music according to my friends. I'm such a Bruce Hornsby fan. He's an AMAZING MUSICIAN. In this country today we need more like him.

I remember hearing it on the radio one day in late July 1986 when it was just becoming a hit in the UK. It was one of those stop what you're doing and take a listen to this songs. I always thought that as well as being about racism,segregation in the US especially the south and how far we'd come - or not - in terms of both legislative and social progress in the two decades since the Civil Rights protests and reforms of the 60s,that as we sought to pick up the pieces of the economic turmoil of the early-and-mid 80s recession amid the Thatcher and Reagan years it was also about the way those shuffling unemployed,the downtrodden and those who've fallen on hard times get treated as easy targets by some in our society who see fit to stigmatise,blame and vent their prejudices on them; like the guy depicted in the first verse there were some people for who behaving as he did was a kind of sport,as often as not accompanied by a side serving of colour prejudice.

Bruce: In 1986, this song was a huge hit here in Rio de Janeiro (in the whole country, I guess), it was played everytime on the radio. Your records were not available here, so, when I cousin of mine went to the US in 1990, I asked him to buy me The way it is and A night on the town, that I own and listen to this day. A few years ago, I bought also Spirit Trail. I love those 3 records, and The way it is is certainly an iconic song (Gee, that Jeer Garcia solo o Find the river is fucking awesome).Greetings from Rio

I've always loved Bruce Hornsby. From the moment I heard him. And considering. I was living in northern Virginia. He was right down the road a few miles. And he's the real deal.. He was all about following his heart. Filled with fairness and the American dream for all. A true artist goes into the studio. To give birth. To a part of themselves. And just like giving birth to a little person. These songs. Have a tendency to grow. And take on a life of their very own. Which many artists like Bruce Hornsby are surprised by and delighted by. Knowing the people. Had heard and felt their message. And the unity of Americans they are trying to bring forth. With the power of music and real actual, Human Beings. Coming together. I mean who wants to fight somebody else because they look different or believe in something different? Aren't we into the New Millennia? Aren't we now living in the Future? Aren't we supposed to be better than this? Who's doing this? Why are they doing this? And who's going to stop them from doing this? From destroying everything for everyone based on a irrational construct. But they don't think it's irrational. Therefore they want to force it upon everybody.. Here and abroad. Everybody's gone nuts and incredibly frustrated. So everybody needs to Lash Out and point the finger of blame across the street. It's their fault! Let's attack them! And after everything is rubble. Without Barney. They can smoke a couple of cigars. And try and figure out what to do later. Maybe tomorrow? Better still, next week. We can put it off for a couple more months. We'll get to it next year. I have to sell my property and retire. Yeah but what about us? Hello? Hello? Operator? Operator? What's an operator? RemyRAD

@@jamescarter3196 You're assuming that I think the lyrics are bad, when in fact the problem is that the lyrics are political. The sentiment about ending poverty and racism is fine, but certain lines imply political solutions that I disagree with because I don't believe they effectively work. Most especially the line: 'They passed a law in '64 to give those who ain't got a little more'. That's always grated on me. Do you want me to go in full political/economic argument mode to explain what's wrong with that line? And if I really want to get technical, the emphasis of the lyrics are that it really IS just *the way it is*, and the line "Ah, but don't you believe them" sounds too much like a tacked on afterthought with little musical weight attached to it. So it's not just a matter of the lyrics, but how they're supported or emphasized by the music. Even good lyrics can be mangled musically. It's not that I don't like the song, I really do, so please don't misunderstand me. But if you want reasons, there you go.

It’s probably easier for an artist such as Bruce Hornsby to reflect on what is gripping an entire nation from the vantage point of an area that is not directly impacted by it. That’s possibly one of the reasons he hit pay dirt with this song the way that he did. Thinking about what he says regarding both the subject matter and how he took two solos, it was a good thing he mentioned Bruce Springsteen. Bruce had made a great success doing the same thing with his lyrics. Also, the packaging of the song itself gave him the perfect opportunity to solo that way.

I just said, “Go go go.” That doesn’t sound like a guy who’s difficult to deal with or whose name is mud to me. And If he didn’t want one hip hop guy to use his song, I’m sure he had a good reason for it.
