This man's message resonates as much today if not more than it did when it was first recorded as we 'celebrate' Gil's life. He may have been imperfect but his scope was huge, his impact great, and I await a retrospective of his work. He will stand as one of the true legends from the counter culture clash of the late sixties and early seventies.
Brilliant. I first heard the instrumental version of this by Joe Bataan, when DJs like Stuart henry on Radio Luxembourg used to use it as a 'talk over' track. Both are excellent!
old man tried to help her out , she cussed him out and hit him in da head with a bottle! LOL! CLASSIC!!!!!!!! man this brings me waaaaaay back!!!! Gil had the funkiest vocal riffs that went along with this song.
