The Day Ben Harper Broke My Heart


Ben Harper's newest album, Both Sides of the Gun, hit stores on Tuesday, and I finally got around to picking it up today. I'm a huge Ben Harper fan. My first dance with my beautiful bride on our wedding day was to Beloved One. I was very excited about the new album. So excited that I started listening to it at work today. I was really enjoying it too until I got to track 7 on Disc 2, a song called Get it Like You Like It. One verse. Five simple lines. 28 words, and the entire album is ruined for me.

In 1918 the great bambino
Kicked a piano into Willis pond

But Johnny Damon swung a bat

Grand slam that was that

An 86 year curse is gone

Say it aint so Ben...
