“We spoke out against racism, hunger, gangs, crimes, and turf wars, as we embraced all people with hope and the spirit of brotherhood. It’s just as apropos today.” - WAR
WAR, the original street band, was founded by veteran record producer Jerry Goldstein and rock legend Eric Burdon in 1969. Together with the original band members Lonnie Jordan, Howard Scott, Lee Oskar, B.B. Dickerson, Harold Brown, the late Thomas “Papa Dee” Allen, and Charles Miller, they blended many musical styles and influences. The musical laboratory that is WAR yielded 17 gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards, including the triple platinum ‘The World Is A Ghetto’ and double platinum ‘Why Can’t We Be Friends?’ and ‘Greatest Hits’, and hit songs "Why Can't We Be Friends?", "Low Rider", "Spill the Wine", and "The Cisco Kid".
WAR began playing live shows to sold-out audiences in the 1970s and continues their commitment to being road WARriors, touring over 150 dates a year to this day.

I think the snare drum accidentally goes off the 2 and 4 beat at 3:24, but is quickly corrected. It all adds to part of the charm of this song. I just listened to an episode of Song Exploder about their song Low Rider, and as they created songs out of jams in the studio, it would make sense that their vibe is relaxed and a little mistake here and there is no big deal in the grand scheme of things.

Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future!!!!!

Insted of saying humans say people because not every person is negitive about people being happy/beliveing all people can be friends one day!

Think of your actions, what you say, do will and can affect others. All im saying is kids/people look up to others wanting to be them in the future I've been through alot of negative stuff in the past but i have made close friends and helped others witch makes me happy having the kind people i know around me and helping anyone. People can be negative to others witch anyone has done or will do thats what being human is learn from your mistakes and be what alot of people need/want of others witch is to be happy and being kind to anyone so may i ask you to please try to be positive to others and avoid influencing people to be negitive.

Once in the late 70s, a local radio station spent a day counting down the top 100 songs of the decade. I was 11 or 12 years old, and my pick for top song was Why Can't We Be Friends. Since I was quite young, I took the countdown far more seriously than I would take such a thing now. I figured this song would at least be in the top 10. I listened all day long. Finally, when it got down to number one, I figured this had to be it, since it had not appeared on the list all day. But no. The top song of the 70s was: Feelings. This song was not even in their top 100. It was a real learning experience for me.

This really is the question right now! Why can't we be friends? If we could just try not to hurt somebody with our actions and words it really would answer this question.

this is how people should live. It absolutely doesnt matter what skin color you have or or what sexual orientation you have just make love not war and never forget to love god that he gave you another day to live and if you dont belive in god there is no principle of your life or anything that you have done.

Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future!!!!!
