Well, I`ve been reading a lot about the fifty years since the Second World War, about Western foreign policy and all that. I try not to let it get to me, but sometimes I just think that there`s no hope.
We didn`t start out to make a protest record at all. That would have been too shallow. As usual, it was simply a case of absorbing what`s going on around us.
This was something that was obsessing me and creating a writer`s block. To get involved and get stuck in, get the proper information about what`s going on has really helped.
