Hey,
How bout that Super Bowl?!!!! Congratulations to our mighty friends in Pittsburgh!
I was watching the game and thinking about the linemen. I've been thinking about the linemen more than usual these days because of the new song I have out, "That's A Man". When people ask me what this song is about I tell them that it is about a lot of things but one theme that runs throughout this song is that it is talking about "the linemen"... the guys that do the dirty work in the trenches without any question and without any fan fare. They are the guys that provide the protection and make the holes so that the running back looks good, the quarterback looks like a genius and the wide receiver can have time to get open. I don't think a lineman has ever received the MVP award at the big game and they all know that it ain't ever gonna happen... and they don't care! They take pride in doing their job the right way because that's what they do.
In many ways "That's A Man" is a song for "the lineman"! It's about getting up, going out and doing the right thing the right way because that's the way we do it.
So do me a favor... if you know anybody that fits the description of being a "lineman" then go up to them today and give them a hand... a handshake, a pat on the back, a attawaytogo. Look them (him or her) in the eye and say "Thanks."! Don't make too big a deal of it because they don't like all that fanfare! But I guarantee they'll appreciate it.
Do me another favor while you're at it... call up your favorite radio station and relay the message that you'd like to send one out to the people that just flat out get the job done... tell them to play "That's A Man" and tell them why!
That's it... That's A Man.
KOKO...
Jack

Yes, way to go Pittsburg! You are absolutely right Jack, there are many people who make holes for others and don't expect a thing in the world in return. And I am so glad you put a (him or her) on your comment, the knuckle grinding, back breaking, life shattering experiences and still tries to do for others,can be a woman, there is one like that typing to you right now.But your "That's a man" song and video is very moving and I'm sure it touches many out there. See you soon, and take care!
