"There's no shortage of anything except human understanding." - RT. Rolling Thunder changed many lives with his wisdom, compassion and healing abilities. In conjunction with the University of California, Davis and Dave Risling*, UEF and I produced this video in 1977 for satellite up-link to the World Symposium on Humanities as his presentation to the international meeting. RT told me that he was not allowed to travel to London, England at this time (referring to the government). So this video was his message to the symposium. Rolling Thunder directed it. 

His compassion for all life and humans of every race, creed and color was profound. He inspired many people into service for human kind. RT said we could stop the wars, stop the destruction of nature and make the world a better place for all life, from the bottom of the sea to the cities, countries and stars. Rolling Thunder has a message for you. Take a listen to what he has to say. It may change your life. It may help you see things differently if you are lucky or ready for the insight. Though these videos RT's spirit can still touch the heart and mind like no other. Profoundly simple yet a powerhouse for those in need. People from all over the world sought him out. RT was a true healer and one of the greatest humanitarians of his time.
