But once you realize the thin line that separates you from them, how can you pretend they don't matter? Homeless, Jobless in America. The Official video of “Streets Of Downtown“ from the Hitman Blues Band's 2013 release, “Blues Enough“. Video directed and produced by Greg Mercado of Greg Mercado Productions. This tells of a self centered young man (a Millennial) who gradually becomes aware of the problem of the homeless, the destitute, the forgotten people. As he starts to recognize the problems around him, he eventually becomes part of the support system. There is hope. Millenials, Generation Y (Gen-Y), Generation X, are all stepping up to help homeless vets, the poor, the helpless. If you enjoyed this, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE! It will help allow others to hear our music.
