+1, well put, I also liked his music, but couldn't figure out how "We can all live together", in reality, when we're just all still a bunch of mixed up humans. Nice thought. But some will always want to dominate others, if allowed to.

Sadly, I must agree. A Utopian fantasy. A nice, wonderful fantasy however. Perhaps one day we will learn, and collectively get our act together. We must, because the 'end game' of our violence will be the end of everything. End of story.
