From the liner:
"With 1984's Stealing Fire, Bruce Cockburn's words and music took on a
greater urgency than ever before. The previous year, he made his first
trip to Central America on behalf of the international development agency
OXFAM. While in southern Mexico, he visited a refugee camp that had
recently been attacked by the helicopters of the U.S.-backed Guatamelan
army. The horrific experience sparked the anger-filled 'If I Had a Rocket
Launcher,' a song which brought him unprecedented attention -- garnering
heavy radio airplay and regular video rotation on MTV. Stealing Fire is
full of many of Cockburn's most powerful political songs, yet it boasts
some of his most romantic numbers as well. From 'Lovers in a Dangerous
Time' to 'Making Contact,' whether issuing calls to action or cries for
help, Bruce Cockburn's poetry demands attention. Upon its release
Stealing Fire immediately staked a claim as one of the most compelling
albums by any singer-singwriter in the 1980s. Nearly twenty years later,
the album's impact is undiminished."
