Annotation
Obscure singer/songwriter James Stein released the song "Written on the Mind of Man (Song for Daniel Ellsberg" (Diogenes Productions # DRS-101) - no further biographical details known about this artist, or location of the recording. The lyrics looked at the government position: "the government felt betrayed, he broke the law they say". However, the narrator praised Ellsberg, because "the truth must find a way", and that we should "never forget the day... that Daniel Ellsberg took a stand".
