    Bizarre. Kris is a all-around genius, no doubt, for his early songwriting and (strangely) his acting skills.

    But this song is a tired old retread of U2's "In The Name of Love" and Dion's "Abraham, Martin, and John" - and putting "holy men" like Ghandi, King, and JC in the same company as the Kennedys (who were anything but), is just strange.
    And a generic country chord-fest as well. Sorry.

    Edit: you posted more while I was posting! :)
    Second one is even worse...."Let's get a supergroup together and have them do an upbeat version of a great, old, bittersweet song."

    The third one, though.....Total Classic, and the words are still 100% applicable today, 45 years later. :)

    You seem to prefer his earlier work.I appreciate both his debut rock style music and his later music which was leaned more towards country.
