Sometimes a song takes on new significance years later. 54.40’s 1987 classic “One Gun,” from the album Show Me, has been adopted as the anthem of Rock The Violence, with the Vancouver rock band’s blessing. Over the summer, founder Craig Knight put the word out to Canadian radio stations to partner with them and play the song — just as they normally would — to raise awareness and create dialogue about gun violence in our communities and as the organization's mission states how to “raise awareness and generate dialogue that can put an emphasis on positive development, opportunities for youth, safe and supportive communities and poverty reduction.” — K.B.
