In 1989, the band released Rock Island, which met with less commercial and critical success than Crest of a Knave. The lead-off track, "Kissing Willie," featured bawdy double entendre lyrics and over the top heavy metal riffing that seemed to take a satiric view of the group`s recent Grammy award win.

The images are shocking. Armoured tanks plow into crowds of people, flames from burning buses light up the night sky, and bleeding bodies are rushed to hospital.

They form human walls around foreign press to make sure the story gets out to the world.

This is a VHS Video that I digitized and edited together with slow and easy dissolves. And to help give it a better down-to-earth feel, I added certain sounds ( in the Motion Picture Industry is called "Foley") and separated various left and right audio components. Much later in 1989, a terrible hurricane called HUGO, devastated the Landing and only recently have various areas been updated and even rebuilt.
