Guitar slinger from Ten Years After. You don't hear "I'd love to change the world" on classic rock radio. Not PC. Not a favorite, but a Woodstock veteran.

They play it around here. I've seen much debate on its meaning and even the message it may send by not being an ironic statement. I imagine you or someone on here knows more about what Lee said about it than me, but I've always found it to be a non PC song in many ways whether he intended it or not. In some ways a lack of intention would make it even more poignant.

There was a Phoenix Sun basketball player with the same name. Pretty sure he couldn't play a guitar though.
