I’ve never thought much of this song. It’s a somewhat lazy one, short, and sort of buried in there towards the end of the album, being by far the least interesting of the last four songs. If I had the power to drop one song off this album, this would probably be the one. Do we need more songs where Bruce is asking questions in the chorus?

But on its own, now that I pay more attention to it, it’s actually pretty good. This becomes a battle between two and three stars. I’ll go with two because I’m still not sure what if offers to the whole album.

I love how Alex Dickson suddenly bursts into a little, lively solo in the middle of the lead guitar melody, around the one minute mark. Also the actual solo later in the song is good.
