A young lady I worked with was fired from her job because of the color of her skin. When I found out I was devastated. I had only heard about stuff like this on the new or in the movies.

Artist picture
I am a Folk Rock musician. My music is inspired by John Lennon and The Beatles.
As a kid I found sanctuary in the music of The Beatles. When things were bad at home I would put Meet The Beatles on my brothers turntable and dream of one day writing my own songs. I started playing guitar when I was 14 and wrote my first song at the age of 26. While my musical tastes have expanded over the years I am still a hug Beatles fan. I am a solo performer in Phoenix, Arizona. When I perform live I cover a variety of artists ranging from The Beatles and The Who to Sinatra and Gershwin. I am very excited about my latest C.D., "These Times". It's my third C.D. and this one is very different from the other two. Being a huge John Lennon fan I made an attempt at mirroring the sound from Lennon's Plastic Ono Band album. I love the feel and the sound of that album. Click on the link below to buy your copy. Thanks, Pete PETER MACINTYRE: These Times

Story behind the song
Racism is alive and well in this fine country of ours. I had the misfortune of meeting an individual who openly proclaimed to be a racist and he somehow became a supervisor in a major bank in the southwestern U.S. He did everything he could to get rid of one of his employees because of the color of his skin.
