    There is a great rendition of this song on an episode of the 2000 television series "Freaks and Geeks". Great song that will always lift my spirits when I hear it.

  General Comment:The slide guitarist explained how they were talking one day and thought to themselves whats the point in being an athiest. Whats the point in thinking you'll die and thats it! Not what you would think it would be about from the title.

  General Comment:Maybe that's why they included the lyric "I don't care what they may say" who knows...

  General Comment:I'm really not surprised that this song was the crowd favorite. I always believed it was the most well-known song by this group.
  
  It's a fun melody, but the lyrics are pretty cheesy. A bit over-rated.

  General Comment:The Byrds did this song too. I like Doobie's version better. Back in the seventies I went to a Doobie concert and surprisingly this song was the crowd favorite.

  General Comment:Whee! My first post on the site is the first on a popular classic rock song! Dance in queer little circles! But tht's not all...I can't believe I'm the first post on this song. One of the few DB tracks not to start out with a signature chunked riff (maybe a bit of a stretch.) Also one of the best to show off their funk side with a Pink Floyd-ish bridge, save the voice. The overall sound doesn't resemble it, but it just reminds me of an up-tempo Gilmour. Someone else please give Jesus a little loving...
