| The Guess Who – Share The Land Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| Randy Bachman from the Guess Who said that song was more of a goof on the hippie movement. Communal living, "tune in, turn on and drop out" mentality of the early 1970's was great in theory but doesn't necessarily make one a productive member of society. So when he is saying "maybe..." it probably means just that. In reality, no one was going to share their land or give it away. it was more of an ideal of the time. The hippies mostly became yuppies when they figured out that wanting a better quality life than "Peace, Love, Dope, Right On and Power to the People" was producing. So Burton Cummings realized that if all the things the 1960's flower children were wanting comes true... he might "drink the koolaid" and buy into the lifestyle. Until then - show me da money! | |
