Good Planets are hard to find now Temp'rate zones and tropic climes True currents in thriving seas Winds blowin' through breathing trees Strong ozone and safe sunshine Good Planets are hard to find Good Planets are in demand Clean beaches and sparkling sand Land masses with room to spare Jet streams and perfect air High forests and low wetlands Good Planets are in demand And the mind don't know If the heart can't see Let the blind man go To his destiny Good planets are rare indeed Rain fallin' on crops and seeds Big rivers and good topsoil Fuel sources from cane to oil Green gardens of all we need Good planets are rare indeed And the mind don't know If the heart can't see Let the blind man go To his destiny Good planets are scarce and few Earthworms and caribou Strong food chains and tasty meals Textiles and plants that heal Iron mountains and skies of blue Good planets are scarce and few

about

I wrote “Good Planets” back in 1995 after first seeing the phrase on a bumper sticker while loading out of a venue up in Burlington, VT.

As mentioned in my memoir, Big City Cat (to be published early next year before a Spring 2018 UK/Holland/Scandinavian tour), I've played the song in most of my shows since releasing it in 1996 on a CD called Rocking Horse Head. At the moment I'm waiting for my friend Joey Spaminato to overdub bass onto a solo version I recorded in late May at a Bob Dylan Tribute in Warwick, NY.

However, one thing leads to another in life and I have recently had the opportunity to remix the original Rocking Horse track here in New Jersey. We decided to omit some instruments, but to (of course) still feature the pedal steel playing of the great Al Perkins. And that's the late, great Jay Bennett (from the early lineup of Wilco) on electric guitar.

The subject matter here is more in the news now than ever before. This free download is a solid rock'n'roll version of the bumper sticker I saw over twenty years ago. Good Planets Are Hard To Find!
