Words are hard to find for me to describe how I really like this song. Sad when the listener knows what happened to Karen Silkwood. She died acting to protect her co-workers and friends from the horrific conditions where they worked at Kerr-McGee. I believe she was murdered in a staged auto accident----hit from behind and pushed head-on into a cement culvert wall. The documents and reports she was delivering to the investigative reporter were 'missing' from her car. Her paycheck she had just received was found on the ground outside the car. There was a black rubber smudge on the rear bumper which was not there before the 'accident'. Kerr-McGee had to protect the upcoming contract worth millions of dollars. The cost of one individual life was worthless to them as we are learning today how corporations are raping and killing our environment and human safety to increase the wealth of the millionaires and billionaires. Corruption starts at the top. Now in 2020 we are seeing how corrupt our ' leaders' are. 08-15-2020 North Hills CA USA
Masterwork!
Beautiful music. I was just a teen age boy when I first heard this.

And yet within a year of her death the plant was closed...
