Unfortunately Relevant Bruce Cockburn Classic: / If I Had a Rocket Launcher

"If I Had A Rocket Launcher" was one of the songs played at high volume outside the Vatican Embassy in Panama City in 1989, in order to drive out Manuel Noriega. Along with "I Fought The Law" and "Nowhere To Run" among others, it was not successful because of complaints from the Ambassador. Cockburn Project Canadian artist Bruce Cockburn

I love this blog. I make an evening of it every few or seven days. For anyone reading this blog, please read the LINKS that are provided. They are always provocative, soulful and at times downright funny. Reading the quotes from Cockburn about Rocket Launcher over the years is....destilling. I know. Strange word. But that's how I feel. 25 years since the song came out. And so much has happened, yet so little (progress-wise)
