    The original is one of my most favourite songs, but I love what the other musicians bring to this version. It very much suits Nick in His later years. Just lovely.

    "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding", I think we could all take a big dose of Peace, Love and Understanding nowadays. Nick's slowed down version with Los Straitjackets makes this song more insightful and probably more relevant for today. Elvis's version is more "Protest Song Style". I love both but they almost take on a different meaning.
    I remember my last talk with my dad before he died. He was a 3 tour Vietnam Vet and I was about to retire after 26 years in the military. I had a pretty hard heart and held some grudges that were in retrospect useless and hurt me more than anyone else. He told me to start forgiving people regardless of who was right or wrong in my mind and move on with my life. When I play this I often think how much better my life has become because ultimately I'm the only one I can change, but I can walk out the door each day and try to be better. You have to try. Forgiveness is a powerful thing. My life is so much better now.
    Sure I still have bad days, but as the great Ray Wylie Hubbard said "The days I keep my gratitude above my expectations, I have pretty good days"
