	This one did very well in the summer of 2000 for the band. It reached # 7 on the top 40, #1 in Popular Rock, and held the top slot in the Psychedelic charts for over 3 months straight. It is about a protest gone bad was written during the Humboldt County pepperspray incident in Oct 1997. The song puts you in the shoes of the peacefull Earth First protesters as they were horribly tortured by police. Help stop the violence! Hang out a while this one is fifteen minutes and the middle section is the wierdest part, with a mixture of Dub and Reggae. Lysten with caution.

	Story Behind the Song This one did very well in the summer of 2000 for the band. It reached # 7 on the top 40, #1 in Popular Rock, and held the top slot in the Psychedelic charts for over 3 months straight.It's about a protest gone bad, written during the Humboldt County pepperspray incident in Oct 1997. The song puts you in the shoes of the peacefull protesters as they were horribly tortured by police. Stop the violence! Sit sown and follow along with the story. The middle section is the best part. Lysten with caution This song was inspired after seeing the horrible footage shot by the police. The protest was for the endless rape on the West Coast Forests, held in Eureka Ca. Written really fast and recorded in one take. The digitial Guitar effects were engineneered by Ryan himself, using a Zoom Studio effects rack live on his Guitar. The Dub drum section was engineered by Dan Swimern and Erin in the studio during the mix down. This song is one of our best and it just keeps on growing. Because the protest still goes on.
