UN: Afghan civilian deaths on the rise
the man who attacked reagan-spawned atrocities in Central America in anthems of righteous indignation like If I Had A Rocket Launcher and Yanqui Go Home has never shied away from criticizing U.S foreign policy. So where was Bruce Cockburn after 9/11?
"I was just struck dumb," admits Cockburn before a gig in Chicago. "I felt a kind of pathetic impotence, like writing a song was the stupidest reaction to a horror like that. Of course I don’t believe that now, because good songs can give people a rallying point. All the songs that came out immediately after were crap. The emotion in them seemed suspect." What triggered his eventual response wasn’t the event itself but the reactionary fallout. Late one night, Cockburn watched fundamentalist Jerry Falwell on TV blaming the fall of the Twin Towers on "gays and lesbians and people who’ve had abortions." "All I could think was, ’Man, you self-serving son of a bitch!’" Cockburn rants. "After reflecting, I realized that, by wanting to attack him, I was falling into his trap. So I wrote the song Put It In Your Heart instead." - Complete Story
