Anti-war theme, including song by Irene Paull sung by Barbara Tilseh, poetry by Hikmet, and original song dedicated to Brian Willson, who, on 9/1/1987, in protest against shipping of U.S. weapons to Central America, blocked railroad tracks at Concord, CA Weapons Station, was hit by a train, losing both legs below the knee, with severe skull fracture. He later learned he'd been on an FBI domestic "terrorist" list under Reagan's anti-terrorist task force provisions and the train crew had been advised not to stop the train. He has since continued his activism on many fronts.
