wow! this was released 13 years ago? I’m just blown away - I’ve seriously never heard it before but holy hannah! It gave me the chills. thanks very much for the links
Now that I understand the context better, I have to say I think the time has finally come for this song and I can’t wait to see the entire new video. This is an amazing song and I totally expect to hear it from the rooftops in Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Sierra Leone, Lebanon, Syria, Afganistan, China, North Korea, Venezuela, Guatamala, Cuba, Kenya - all over the world as loud as it can be played - his are powerful, powerful words invoking the champion of freedom throughout the world, Roosevelt, and the champion of nonviolent protest for civil rights, Martin Luther King. Why was this song supressed in 96 when Clinton was president? Well, it’s out now! wow! just wow!
fyi, to add to the thread, I found the prison video here ( I watched for the #1 motion, but it wasn’t part of this routine):
