Bruce Phillips "Yuba City".....it IS about the importance of names, and barely mentions any...."If I had a book, and if I only knew,
I'd write down their names and I'd sing them to you.
And when I got done, I'd sing them again-
You all know each one had a name"about the deaths (murder) of 27+ homeless men and migrant workers a number of years ago...many were never identified
the song is really only about the 'issue' that no one cared enough to note their names
