The Avett Brothers soothed a divided America with a heartfelt and beautiful cover of George Harrison's "Give Me Love(Give Me Peace On Earth)" Friday night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert: www.cbs.com/shows/the-late-show-with-stephen-colbert/video/81przmYl_V7DFdLKYn_uz8dNXnw0pzmb/the-avett-brothers-perform-give-me-love-give-me-peace-on-earth-/My friend and fellow Avett fan Andrea was disappointed and I completely understand as she wanted an original song written by Scott and Seth but for me this was nothing short of magical and a divine intervention from God! I am assuming it was a comment on Friday's Inauguration of Donald Trump as President of the United States of America: that we all need peace and love. I am not sure. I have had a horrible week(broke my arm and had surgery yesterday) but this made me happy, when my Beatles world intersects with my Avett world!

Sorry about your arm. What happened?
I must look into those Avett Brothers sometime.

Sorry about your arm. What happened? I must look into those Avett Brothers sometime. A misadventure while walking my dog up a hill on a dark, wet night Tuesday, January 10. A simple dog walk turned into an open reduction/interior fixation of my right proximal humerus. But The Avett Brothers cheered me and many others up with a touching tribute to Hari! What a great nod to "The Quiet Beatle!"

George's official Twitter site graciously acknowledged The Avett Brothers' performance two Friday's ago of George's "Give Me Love(Give Me Peace On Earth)" on the Colbert show to help a raw nation and gave a YouTube link for the performance! That was cool and the George fans all seem very pleased with the Avett's cover by the comments!
George would be silently proud I believe and as a Beatles and Avett Brothers fanatic, I am very proud of them both!

Thanks for posting this, JSD. Hope your arm is healing.

And thanks scousette. I neglected to click the link when this first was posted. Must had been on my way out the door or something.
It sounds great!
