"Not since Woody Guthrie gave his all to bring attention to injustices to American workers during the early parts of the 20th century, and Bob Dylan's ushering in the anti-establishment movement of the 60’s, have I heard such a prolifically strong and straight from the heart, and straight through the heart piece of poetry set to music. '1070 (I'm Your Dirty Mexican)' is a song that needed writing . . . an amazing piece of musical history."
