Written and sung by bluesman Nick Gravenites, who let's simply say did better things at other times in his career. Although the idea of a hippie anthem to then scary redneck guy Merle Haggard was kind of funny, as is the line "You're a honkie, I know/But Merle, you've got soul."
In any case, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will, as always, be awarded to the first reader who gleans the clip's relevance to the theme of tomorrow's Weekend Listomania.

Okay, I'll break the ice:
Crossover hits/misses?
Uh...nooooooo.
:-)
Bands who tried to keep going after the person who was their only reason for existing in the first place departed?
Songs that name-check other artists?
I'm trying to work in "I'm So Tired." Not happening.
Album covers drawn and painted by a 7 year old, no? Ok then, bands who perform songs about other artists, whoever they may be.
Songs about other artists is actually a great idea, and I probably will steal it.
But no......
Car songs?
You know, I don't think we've ever done car songs, now that you mention it. Transportation, probably, but not car specifically.
Anyway, no.
:-)
Okay -- a clue, if it will help.
It's something IN the song title....
Songs about change?
Bingo!!!
dSmith -- your coveted No-Prize is redeemable a any powerpop outlet near you!!!
