Work for Peace off of the album Spirits, the song inspired me to search out some photo's on flickr and other public photo sites to find the right fit for my vision of how this music video should look. I use my own photo's most of the time but the content on this one wasn't in my photo library as you can well imagine.

hey rib...tks so much for your kindness. Curious though...is that your voice?? I mean we are talking major Barry White...I am a former classical pianist and most songs are not what I call "coming from the uterus".Beautiful...perfect and the text? PRICELESS. Brilliant. You should go to LA ... You beat every and all of the new comers/raps with no voice. Peace out man.Will get the CD 2morrow.

No. Gil Scott-Heron was one of the fathers of rap as we know it today. (it mutated from urban beat poets like him of the 60's and 70's, with jazz beat's most generally)

The only thing worng with PEACE is that you can't make no money from it!

IF this message of peace and solidarity could only reach the youth of today en mass, I believe we would see positive change in the world and greater resistance to and awareness of systemic violence.

Scott Heron was my hero in high school and I say I was happy to meet him in person.

Musicians like him are so hard to find!

The pictures really match the track :)

[John January]

Yeah, but I can imagine something better, a patient approach, the ability to take a step back and try to understand somebody else, that's also part of our species.

Say it to yourself, " I don't want to hurt anybody".

[leahcim3360]

Human beings evolved as creatures of deeply cooperative Community who practiced mutual aid for resource acquisition and safety; otherwise our 3.5 foot tall ancestor "Lucy" would not have survived the African plain teeming with carnivorous predators like lions & hyenas.

The predators are different today, but the best defense remains the deeply cooperative human Community.

Wars are PROFITABLE for the predatory vulture capitalists & the death merchants.

Remove the PROFITS & you'll END the War.

[trianglemangler]

So, so, so smart.

No matter what, we are a warring species. Unless you give everyone in the world a syrum that nulls emotions, we will fight. thats nature. everyone wants peace, and it would be nice. But if there was no guns, no missiles or bombs or tanks. we would still find a means to fight. Just like in egypt, they had no weapons really, but when they rioted, they used whatever weapons they could furnish. There is no way the Kim Jongs, Saddam Husseins or Joseph Stalins in the world will cease to exist

unbelieablely obvious unyet covert style operations war is outdated we as a species should be cooperating for the better of the earth not PROFIT GREED FIRST unbelievable we could end the human species ..the earth will purge itself of humans and start the cycle again without us .................hmmmmmmmmmmmm­mm lsd25records

Men and women with vision are seldom listened to during their lifetimes.Truth speakers are shunned but evil bastards like Limbaugh have millions of followers being led to destruction by money mad evil men.
