Three and a Half Letters video
Chickenfoot unveiled the video they made for "Three and a Half Letters (I Need a Job)".
I'm gonna admit I was a bit hestitant to like the song after only hearing it. Great groove, great sense of rage, but no real resolution to the song (for me). I mean, it's kinda tough to hear these words coming out of the mouth of someone who's done very well for himself.
And that's where the video comes in. It kind of brings a whole new perspective to it.
I know I can like this song now. It's a bit unwieldy to make a plea to help your local food banks on a CD, but they can do it on a video. And they did.
And now that the weather is getting colder-- and the holidays are coming-- the timing couldn't be more perfect for this.
