deadmans hand

once again. the history of civilisation in a pop song
through the eyes of a tuned in, turned on, druid in a uniform, who can't drop out of the clusterfuck. 'empires got you by the balls,' every foot soldiers lament. 

this song leaves me breathless, it's a stomping rock song with penultimate musicianship and craft that is driven by steve's words and phrasing. let it speak for itself in this live recording. 

incidentally 'deadmans hand' refers to the two black aces and two black 8's wild bill hickok played when he was shot dead in a poker game. since then the hand has been revered by players who know their lore.
