Holly Near singing "I am Willing"

Holly Near sang on May 18, 2006 at a rally outside the White House on May 18, 2006. Cindy Sheehan and others from groups including Gold Star Families for Peace, AfterDowingStreet, Democracy Rising, Code Pink, and Traprock Peace Center, among many others, brought a petition to the gates of the White House. The petition called on the Bush administration to not attack Iran; it was signed by over 40,000 people.

Incredible musical talent and an even greater talent to touch the heart and bring people together. Holly was the first "women's music" concert I went to, back around 1980 in Coleraine (sp?) MN.

There is a great song by Holly Near that has words "Taxi drivers seem to know when to let a woman cry in silence". What's the name of that song?
