richard shindell "fishing"

[@carsonsheir]

I was actually at this show in Columbus Ohio and I remember Richard Shindell was on fire that night. He is one of the best "story" tellers I have ever had the pleasure of listening to.

Just re-listened to this song, after over 20 years, and it moved me to tears knowing how our country has changed for worse since I was a kid in high school to present day.

What a song! The imagery, the way the melody supports every turn of phrase--every one of his songs is a consummately crafted work of art.

[@candolex]

Simply amazing. Fishing... just wow.

[@LaureceWest]

This song moves me deeply every time I hear it. Masterful writing. Thank you Richard!

[@DanPat121]

A fantastic song...even more chilling live.

[@keyworthgraphics]

an album should be made of this performance!

[@jaxunable]

in 2003 Richard says,(at 1:00) "Unfortunately this song keeps getting more and more relevant.... and so it does.

[@BillKinggarak99]

I have told Richard a few times that with the immigration climate in the country now This is one of the most important song of our time

[@narryssa]

simply great!!!

[@pantucci]

Stunning song--awesome

I guess the one thumb down is the interrogator!

[@ncmathsadist]

Gritty, smart and rewarding.

[@Summerlandtopcat]

That is a superb song.

[@Aptera1]

Great song, & well done!

The man is a master. Loved his music for a long time but just saw this. I think people don't know how hard it is to preform solo with a guitar. Beyond that...of course its sad that his opening words are just as relevant as when he first spoke them. It's just the nature of humans...it will not change.

[@Donna230]

Wow. :)

[@DCV321]

Thanks for your reply. It amazes me that people still want to emigrate here given all the abuses we hear about, especially after 9/11.

[@jonnwall]

awsome ,,, come to scotland richard ,, that song so represents our country at the moment ,, polish are invading us

[@ptjameson]

Richard has been particularly sensitive to this issue since his marriage to an Argentinian woman over 20 years ago...

This song grows on me...I see the interrigator and the the one being interrigating coming together and sharing a moment of understanding- fishing. The interrigator seems the humanity of the one interrgated- he understands his job- but to me- it seems that I could see the two enjoying a day of fishing together- but that the situation doesn't allow it. I don't think the song is as clear cut as it first seems.

[@patspray]

@DCV321 It is very typical and not just for the hispanic immigrants... my irish-born wife and I (a US citizen) fought the capricious judgements of one immigration officer for 10 years before finally winning - that fight cost over 50K, 1 house & 2 cars. We finally had justice prevail but for people without means our immigration system is messed up... you're legal one minute, the next some immigration employee who needs to make his "quota" of denials can deem you illegal with the stroke of a pen.

[@LaureceWest]

Oh how sad and maddening. So sorry for your personal challenges.

[@TracyGrammerOfficial]

Featuring Byron Isaacs on bass.

[@NateontheGuitar]

Do you happen to have a copy of that concert that you could send me? The website won't let me download the song. It would be much appreciated. Thanks

[@DCV321]

In this song we have a fishing for information from a fisherman. The later comes across nobly while the one fishing reminds me of the gestapo. The song has made me reevaluate my stand on our immigration policy. I still think the USA has a right (like every other country) to limit immigration, but how we do it is so important and doing nothing is simply unacceptable. I sure hope this is not typical of the way immigration enforcement works.
