SUMMONER'S TALES...
"Driven To Tears was written in '79 in some motel in the midwest of America. I was watching the news, starving children, legs too thin and weak to support themselves. An horrific irony that we have the technology to witness human tragedy but seem unable to prevent it. Tears of rage were one thing but Band Aid was better."
