Schwa. Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 i just explained what "Eat a Peach" meant to a 52 year old Deadhead at work about 3 weeks ago. He was sooooo amazed because it made so much sense. hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuleMomma Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Seems to me both Duane and Berry were killed in motorcycle accidents, almost at the exact same spot, on October 29, 1971 and November 11, 1972 respectively. I thought the "Eat A Peach" phrase came from something Duane said while eating a peach, "Eat A Peach For Peace" (but now I'm going to look into it again). RIP Duane and Berry Oh, just found the answer (and for the entire story go to this link) - http://www.snopes.com/music/hidden/eatpeach.asp The title is an allusion to a statement Duane Allman once made during a magazine interview: The myth was that the band used the title because Duane had crashed into a peach truck when he died; in truth, it came from one of Duane's throwaway lines in an interview. "How are you helping the revolution?" Ellen Mandel of Good Times Magazine had asked him. "I'm hitting a lick for peace," Duane responded. "And every time I'm in Georgia, I eat a peach for peace."

Stevil Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 I think it was Neil Young bailing on Stephen stills mid tour. Something like "its funny how somethings that start spontaneously end that way, eat a peach, Neil" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
