Peter Gabriel Sings 'Biko'

Here's a new idea, my first one in a long time.

Rather than a cartoon for an open thread, how about a music video?

This is Peter Gabriel singing "Biko", recorded live, many years ago.

Here's a link to the video at YouTube.

The lyrics follow, this an open thread, and I'll be back.

September '77, Port Elizabeth, weather fine
It was business as usual in police room 619
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja, the man is dead

When I try and sleep at night I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white With only one color dead
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja, the man is dead

You can blow out a candle but you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch the wind will blow it higher
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja, the man is dead

And the eyes of the world are watching now
watching now
