From the page: "Books cannot be banned, and staunchly refuse to be burnt: as the Nazis discovered when they sought to eradicate "degenerate" literature, and as anti-Nazis discover every time they try to outlaw The Protocols of the Elders of Zion or Mein Kampf. Bash, belittle and ban the thing you hate, and it grows back even more vigorously: like bindweed, or hydra, or Anne Robinson."

"It marked the marriage of music with politics and spawned a generation of political activists. Thirty years after Rock Against Racism, in a more cynical and apathetic age, some of the musicians who were there at the start will reiterate their message to a huge crowds once again.
The original demonstration saw 80,000 people march from London's Trafalgar Square to Victoria Park in east London for a chaotic but hugely well-received open-air gig.

This is harrowing enough the first time. When you listen to it after researching Peoples Temple and Jonestown quite a bit it's even worse.
