Bruce Cockburn is not a man known for avoiding politics in his music.
In fact, anyone who has heard his song If I Had a Rocket Launcher -
written after a trip in 1983 to Guatemalan refugee camps in Mexico -
can have little doubt that Cockburn is a man with a steadfast
propensity to speak out with brutal honesty. After seeing the refugee
camps, Cockburn wrote in his notebook, I understand now why people
want to kill.
