John asked me to put together a video based on his song decrying the arms race. His characters are an American farmer and a Russian soldier who both have the same interests-- living a peaceful family life. He projected this at his concerts on a huge screen behind him (a version stripped of his image). Note his analysis of the arms race at the end. Actually, the song is titled LET US BEGIN, but he insisted on always using the subtitle, WHAT ARE WE MAKING WEAPONS FOR? He would introduce the song with the subtitle and, after finishing, would say, "Let us begin." Many cheers from the crowd.
