I recently saw a short TV advert which used 'Cat's in the Cradle' as a soundtrack. It was trying to get people to inform on people they knew to be invoved in terrorism in Ireland.

I don't want to go in to the rights and wrongs of the campaign, but the film, useing the song was very effective. It changed the occupation of the singer to that of a terrorist. The son eventually following in his fathers footsteps and the father attended his son's funeral.

I don't know what the author would have thought about it?
