   I just listened to "Run For Your Life" and "Give Peace a Chance" side by   
   side.  I felt that I was listening to two different songwriters -- one of them   
   (RFYL) a focused songwriter; the other (GPAC) a drug-fried, incompetent street   
   musician.     
      
   I urge others to try this experiment and post their comments.
