Bruce Hornsby fans: If you like it, or hate it, please let me know. This "image stream" video represents one fan's mental images inspired by lyrics from this moving song, written by the brothers Bruce and John Hornsby. Note: The beginning segment 0:00-0:14 is taken from the 1986 album/studio version of the song, since this particular live-version .MP3 file on the Web is missing the beginning. For the studio/album version of this song/video, please visit the VIMEO.COM alternative video web site: here is the link to the song: vimeo.com/21063085
I actually originally wanted to, and did, create this video using the studio version of the song, but it was rejected with a copyright violation notice directly from "Bruce Hornsby". Not "Hornsby Music Ltd." (or whatever umbrella parent publishing company), not WMG, Sony, Music Publishing Rights Collecting Society, or any of those usual copyright holders. Just "Bruce Hornsby". Period. Ominously. It was my first catastrophic, privilege-revoking violation. For this one case with Bruce Hornsby, YT revoked my privilege to Upload Videos Longer Than 15 Minutes, which I had recently earned by staying away from gross copyright violations and following the Terms of Service... The moral: Don't f**k with Bruce Hornsby.

I saw BH and the Range play at Hammersmith Odeon/Apollo back in 1988 and it was an excellent show. The BBC recorded the concert and and it was broadcast in February of 1989. I must dig out my cassette of the show. And yes - you don't mess with Bruce Hornsby

Thats the first time I've heard Bruce Hornsby really liked I will google &Youtube Whiter... the video has beautiful images liked the ones of the old men in fact I liked them all so much that I felt maybe especially at the start that they could have been a bit slower in changing?? however I know it must be tricky to keep in tempo to the song. Thanks and more please edited to say been to youtube... Duh "The Way It Is"

Really liked the video...especially becuase I never much liked Hornsby, the song on the radio 'that's the way it is' struck me as banal in the steve miller, late fleetwood manner.

TO MDF, NR, AND SM: It is really nice to hang out briefly with you guys again, especially the Board's senior members
Thank you for taking the time to comment. (Of course it's also preferable if you like it.) MDF - so cool that you put the ticket image up. NR - glad you liked Hornsby, I like also Mandolin Rain _a little_ and On The Western Skyline OK, I tend to concur with...SM - The Way It Is wasn't so great, and also it was beaten into us in every elevator.
I do not want to offend anyone so let me say this is kind of (kind of) an exaggerated rant: SM: I also like seeing someone else saying what seems to be sacrilege---Steve Miller is not hardly a Barre-class kickass rocker, he is generally a big sissy and although I proudly consider myself one of Owlsley's (R.I.P.) soldiers and former weed user, I will never be proud to be labeled that asinine phrase "a Midnight (Joker) Toker". More like stroker. - Kevin

More like stroker. - Kevin I will happily admit to being a fan of Bruce Hornsby & The Range although after he split from The Range I felt he lost it a bit. I do believe he played with the Grateful Dead on live shows at some time. The songs he wrote solo and with his brother on their first albums were quite magnificent imo, dealing with some subjects that are sometimes taboo with other artists (racism, abuse of power, etc) but they struck a cord with me. And yes, The Way It is was overplayed here in the UK much the same as the 2 or 3 songs that constantly get played by Dire Straits (Sultans, Money For Nothing, Romeo & Juliet) but thankfully Planet Rock tend to roll out others such as Down By The Waterline, Telegraph Road and Brothers In Arms, amongst others, which the FM stations don't play.

I think I muddied the waters. Let me clarify that I will also proudly and loudly admit to being a fan of Bruce Hornsby (I wouldn't have spent days creating the video if I wasn't), although I am only familiar with the first 3 albums. I would agree with the word magnificent, and his music gives me unique images and feelings that no other music does, some kind of "while listening, I dwell in and experience life in the 1940's-70's rural Western US/pickup trucks/motels" ambiance. Also agree about being a leader in covering social issues in popular music. I forgot to say I really like "The Valley Road", too. He did play with the Grateful Dead: [Wikipedia:] "Bruce Hornsby played over a hundred shows with the Grateful Dead, beginning in 1988 and continuing until Jerry Garcia's death in 1995. Between September 1990 and March 1992, Hornsby played piano (and frequently accordion) at every Grateful Dead gig, following the death of Brent Mydland. After that period, Vince Welnick became the sole keyboardist, although Hornsby still sat in with the band on occasion.

If anyone has any doubts about Bruce Hornsby, check out his song "Lost Soul" from the album "A Night On The Town" where he shares vocal duties with Shawn Colvin. To my mind, an absolute masterpiece.
