I remember perfectly, It was on the Stephen Colbert Show, a bit in which Stephen goes to New Orleans to meet Jon and his family. In one scene they are walking down the street, Jon has his Melodica, a homeless man comes along, Jons face lights up and starts playing a soulful tune, the homeless man is dirty and wearing a torn down dress but he has a tamborin in his hand, they jam together. For a moment that burn-out guy is no longer a mental health victim or a lifetime of bad decisions, he is a human being. I realized then the true power of music. Thank you Jon. Stay human!

We done a lot of living We working overtime Don't need another million You got that gold mine I love the way you're livin' 'Cause you so genuine You got that something special Didn't you know? I just need you, you, you Met you when I was a lil' nappy head boy And I never put down my alto saxophone, yeah Buckjumpin' down on the boulevard I couldn't wait to blow my own horn (woo!) It ain't wrong for you to play along Playing this song 'til you die, come on In this world with a lot of problems All we need is a little loving Thank you, thank you, oh, you make me Thank you, thank you for your love We done a lot of living We working overtime Don't need another million You got that gold mine I love the way you're livin' (hey) 'Cause you're so genuine (genuine) You got that something special Didn't you know? I just need you, you, you (come on, now!) Met you when I was a lil' country boy And I never put down that pork chop and salt Then we fell in love on the boulevard If you was Jenny, I guess I was Forrest (run!) Nah, it ain't wrong for you to sing along Singing this song 'til you die In this world with a lot of problems All we need is a little loving Thank you, thank you, oh, you make me Thank you, thank you for your love We done a lot of living (whole lotta) We working overtime (overtime) Don't need another million You got that gold mine (gold mine) I love the way you're livin' 'Cause you're so genuine (genuine) You got that something special Didn't you know? I just need you, you, you I need you, you, you, you, you, you, you
