I love Chrissie Hynde’s voice, Also Pink Floyd and Bob Geldof.
The stated intention of this song has been to bring attention to the plight of Gary McKinnon, a Scottish hacker with Asperger’ s Syndrome who with the aid of a simple perl script, hacked into Department of Defence computers looking for evidence of UFO’s. Whatever he found has sufficiently alarmed the powers that be in the US enough that they have fought extremely hard to extradite him to fight US judgement, despite the fact that he has already faced justice in the UK. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_McKinnon
