This song was certainly done to death in the sixties and seventies and even when I hear it today I think 'What clever words' but I look for alternate versions to KK just to give it a boost. It is a little worn out but I find it difficult to omit this classic. I remember spending time debating the value and meaning of the word freedom. The young Christian club asserted that the kind of freedom KK talks about here is quite the opposite to true freedom. Anyhow that's philosophy . But the thought of freedom from responsibility appealed to us young-ins and the image of 'thumbing a diesel down' and landing where it may was bold and exciting. ...and 'we sang every song the driver knew', and indeed songs were the basis of our foundation. All great revolutions have their music to identify with and this was one for the sixties.
