with some acute depression, the emerging story behind the Damilola
Taylor murder. (This was a young, black boy, on his way back home after
a computer lesson, who was allegedly stabbed with a broken beer bottle,
> and left to bleed to death. Police tried to give him mouth to
> mouth when they noticed his breathing was depressed, but it emerged
> that the four youths currently on trial for the murder put a marble
> down his throat, seriously impeding his airway, making this treatment
> totally ineffective........).
> 
> Pete made several references,  'put a marble down his throat',
> and did NOT sing the usual ad lib about 'all the kids are alright',
> and instead doing another improvised vocal.
> 
> Roger also said 'and if not all the kids are alright, let's do
> something about it' .
