The legendary score reflects rock roots that define a generation.
AN ALBUM THAT INSPIRED A REVOLUTION.
A REVELATION THAT CHANGED THE WORLD.
A REINVENTION FOR THIS MILLENNIUM.

Just what we need to counteract all our current and age-old horrors. Wars that should never be. The supreme court trying to reverse a crucial law. Stolen elections in corrupt countries.
Too many murdered and disappeared. Senseless violence and divisive hatred. Not enough urgency or clout to stop corporate greed and the destruction of our planet. The list goes on and on.
The passion and truth boldly blare out at us - a wakeup call for these fraught times.
Driving a revolution to rage against our manmade horrors.
This is not religion - it is a declaration and the demand for what is best for all.
