Bruce Hornsby was compared to Bruce Springsteen, a working-class man rising through sheer talent and singing about life as he saw it - in Hornsby's case, the southern states.
"The way it is" was all about racial injustice, and how progress has been painfully slow and doesn't need to be reversed.

Daily #SteveKimock. With #BruceHornsby and #PhilLesh.
He's always been able to get that "edge of breakup" sound.
When we were kids a friend had a whomping big Fender Dual Showman amp with the 2X15 cabinet. It was a painfully clean amp, with so much headroom you could turn it up all the way and still not get any hint of breakup (and god help the people in the neighborhood). We used to say it was like shoving "pencils in your ears."

Hard to believe that Paul McCartney will be 81 on June 18 this year. How can all this time have passed? Bruce Hornsby will be doing a tribute concert "The Music of Paul McCartney" at Carnegie Hall on March 15. Joining him will be a large cast of musicians including Lyle Lovett, Graham Nash, Lake Street Dive, and more. More into at: https://brucehornsby.com
