Kudos to John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls.

[Fatman]

. "...the new album features the single "Not Broken," based on correspondence
between Rzeznik and the wife of a solider in Iraq. She told him that her
husband had been rendered paralyzed by a battle wound. Though he has
returned to the States for treatment and rehab in Veterans
Administration ...hospitals and halfway houses, he now suffers paralysis of
another sort: fear.

"He won't come home, because he's afraid she won't see him as he was,"
Rzeznik says. "I wanted to speak for her, to write a love letter to tell
him to come home."

Heavy stuff, but accessible. The song starts with the lightness of
acoustic strumming, then crashes into an epic swirl of Who-like guitars."

+10 fatman. I am a closet Goo Goo Dolls fan. I about wore out Iris when my romantic life went sideways around '99. That song, sad as it seems, helped. I hope this one helps a soldier. Its good to see an artist write a song to not just make a buck or a political fashion statement, but rather to help out someone we all would do anything to assure that he's more of a man than any of us. Good on John. I hope others follow. I think the country has grown up. We may dislike W. or BO and dislike the war. It doesn't mean we don't love our troops. Good for anyone who reminds them of that. Damn allergies, always hit at the worst times....
