You can blow out a candle, but you can't blow out a fire....

Once the flame begins to catch, the wind will blow it higher...

I love you Peter Gabriel. You are truly a man who is colorblind and who understands truth and justice for all men. Not just for some.

Thank you, Peter. Thank you for being you and doing what must be done. For giving a voice to a world so often rendered speechless by injustice.

This song changed my life in 1979. Had the opportunity to thank the man in person at Passaic Theater in New Jersey. He was quite moved and remembered an earlier connection---truly as about a friendly and generous and humble a person as I have ever met. We are most fortunate to be alive at the time that PG is making music and striving to make the world a more peaceful and humane place.

A great song about a great man in a room of great men. I hope there is still time to save this world of ours.?!

"And if a man tried to take his time on earth and prove before he died what one mans life could be worth, oh well I wonder what would happen to this world." - Harry Chapin
