Well, not only do I like Joan Osborne as a singer, but I love this song. It was written by Eric Bazilian, a member of The Hooters, on of my favorite Philly bands. And I think the sentiment behind the song speaks to me these days, a point in time when people are voting on whether 'other' people should have rights the voter already has.
These were indeed strong lyrics and a bit controversial at the time, but still a unique piece of writing.

SteveA, yes, it was a bold song at the time. And Joan has such a rich voice!
