The 1991 Rodney King beating sparked the L.A. riots. When he came out of the hospital, instead of saying something inflammatory, he was calling for understanding. I said, "That's what we need!" and wrote CAN'T WE GET ALONG. It laid around for almost 30 years, then it hit me, this should be the anthem of where we are now! When we think of 2020, this is the song we'll remember. -Pat Boone
