in that particular song, i wonder what did pearl jam mean by the lyric,

"...like muhammad, hits the truth"

are they against Islam or vice versa? well, i'm a muslim and pearl jam is my favorite band in the world!

keep on rocking in the free world!

    Love the live versions of this song!! Hits hard, mellows out at the end, great elements.

    Ali was a pretty outspoken guy. Alot of people feel when he spoke he "hit the truth". That's what I always thought from the lyrics.
    And after all this, won't you give me a smile?

    Am I thinking of someone else, or did Ali sometimes refer to himself as "the truth"? I'm probably thinking of another athlete. Meh.
