Johnny Guitar

How can someone hate this song with a lyric like this?

"With a leg under a red dress i wish i could see
further north a warmth alive and lingering"

Now when has Ed ever been so humorous and light hearted with his lyrics, yet it is hugely descriptive and has loads of personality... pure brilliance, one of the best tunes on the record, definitely!

I like Johnny Guitar. It's taking me a little more time to like Supersonic. For some reason, I just can't get into that one. I'm sure if I listen to it more it'll probably grow on me...

I appreciate what they tried to do here and I like the concept behind the album cover in the bathroom and what not...With that being said...


Song just aint doing it...In fact Backspacer was almost the first album in the catalouge where I dont skip a song...But Johnny Guitar stands in the way. Its too bad because it has a kick ass name and really makess you wanna hear it...Then comes the dissappointment.

Far and away, my favorite song on the record... I just with they repeated the hell out of the last chorus at the end... It goes by took quick.... I think once people get that last tag line stuck in there head (took me about a week), they will fall in love with this one...

this definitely seems to be settling in as a 'love it or hate it" song amongst the fans. not sure why. i fucking love this song. i think its very interesting musically, especially eds phrasing. the lyrics are light and silly but actually tell a very heartfelt story. i think it's incredibly interesting all around. 4th best on the album for me i think, behind amongst the waves, unthought known, and force of nature.

Mr. Watson is a pimp! The song is happening in a far out groovy kind of way! 8-)
