And it remains just as relevant today as when it was written for different times.
Ray Porter great as always.

A classic

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Brief & a little predictable but still a classic. Vestigial sentiments that harken back to an age when honor, sanity and reason persevered even in the face of perverse policies (M.A.D.). Makes one nostalgic for when all of humanity was still recognized and valued.
An ironic antithesis of the ‘Fail Safe’ premise but achieves the same outcome.

Highly impactful.
