Amazing development! Thank you Greg for the Stew Albert article which I may have read when I subscribed to Crawdaddy in the 70's. If it wasn't this article it was Joe Strummer in Washington Bullets that introduced me to this tragic loss to Chile and folk music.

Greg, thanks for the update on the tragedy of Victor Jara. Please find the link of Bruce, with Nils Lofgren and Curt Ramm, singing Victor Jara's beautiful "Manifesto" in Santiago, Chile in September of 2013.

I haven't seen the following film since it was first released, but as I recall, it was an excellent portrayal of Allende's regime before the coup.
