What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding

[IcyPeas]

I ask myself is all hope lost?

1. As long as we have peace and love on our side, hope is not lost.

That is why we will win in the end. Those moms and the other groups in Portland give me hope.

I have to believe that.

2. Ever heard the original?

Nick Lowe was in the band and co-wrote it with his bandmates ... the song's similarity to Baba O'Riley becomes a bit more glaring in this version ...

4. I did not know this.

Was there a legal fuss about Baba O'Riley and this song? I sorta, kinda, hear it.

5. No nothing like that, I just think there's some def similarities in the sound

The guitar work especially ... I never noticed it with Elvis' version.

Just now was the first time I listened to the original in a real long time and I'm like ... some parts sounds a lot like Baba ... not a total rip or anything.

3. Great song

Nick Lowe wrote it. He and Elvis worked together pretty closely back in the day.
