TofuBug2 - I totally agree with your point of view. Well stated. I might add that David Dramian's ability to convey raw emotion and bring to life the story is a lot like legendary artist Johnny Cash.
Might I add, that Dramian understand that SILENCE IS CONSENT.
Anytime Church Leaders remain silent about pedophile priests in their ranks, they consent to the atrocity.
Anytime Law Enforcement Officers close ranks to protect their own when police brutality has occurred upon the citizens they are sworn to protect, they consent to the abuse.
Anytime Women remain silent towards women who commit the same types of domestic
abuses of teacher-sex scandals that they would otherwise publicly outcry against if the same crimes were committed by men, they consent to their own kind.
Anytime Non-Minorities remain silent about the problems minorities are faced with, they consent to those problems.
Anytime Moderate Muslims remain silent to the atrocities committed by radical Islamists, they consent to those acts of terror, killings and murder.
Anytime Americans give a pass to their own for bad behavior, they consent to that behavior.
"Fools!" said I, "you do not know Silence like a cancer grows!"
POWERFUL rendition of this song. I grew up with the original, but this cover is better and more compelling.
@tigerx2374 Great interpretation. Not sure it's the only interpretation -- for example, what about SILENCE just in isolated self-absorption (staring a smart phone ignoring everyone in real life), without a major social justice issue? But even if your is not the ONLY interpretation, still it's a very forceful interpretation -- very astute.
