this song is powerful but it deserves to have Gardasil mentioned at least once because the song may very well outlive the story behind it and then it will be lost to future generations what was it that killed that poor child.

also, it's sad that there are no songs about Thalidomide, there really should be some - please tell Rob my Job to give it a go.

Rob won't necessarily play hard as hell again, I had asked and he'd said no at the time

I just learned his song my self and it drains me to play it

I only learned it because I wrote the refrain Hard as Hell

It is a bit high and a strain for my range but I can keep the song alive and occasionally sing Gardasil

I doubt Rob is gonna be writing any more medical freedom songs....and he's not really in communication with me since couple months...

If you write lyrics it is easy to put music to a song that is ready...

Someone told me a few years back I'd lose all desire to play music within two years

Sadly that has happened and I hope it is reversed

sorry to hear all of this!

I have some experience in classical guitar and can confirm it is difficult to relax enough (for the last two years) to keep the playing momentum and enjoy the guitar.

it seems we're in limbo and it's not yet hard enough but when it really "gets going" some musicians will produce what Dmitri Shostakovich (e.g. Waltz No. 2) and Matvei Pavlov-Azancheev (he wrote this heart wrenching music in the Gulag ->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nDJItFJZ4Y) produced to show what the human spirit is capable of when pushed to the extreme.

As a 56 year old ( bunch of autoimmune issues etc) after booster shots for work in autistic classroom wrecked my immune system. Had no idea for years the correlation. Insurance dictated medicine is a joke now. I’m still reading Kennedy’s book on Fauxchi. I get so angry.
