“If Neil Young recorded this song it would become a national anthem.”
- Kevin Jones, songwriter
The No Uranium Song by singer-songwriter Russ Hopkins has been released in support of Coloradoans Against Resource Destruction. “I wrote the song after being asked by Lloyd Drust to perform a benefit in support of people who are trying to bring information about uranium mining in northern Colorado to the public” says Hopkins. “After digging around myself for information this song just fell out. I offer it as a humble contribution toward public awareness and dialog on this issue.” added Hopkins.
“Every musician I approached was more than willing to donate their time and talents for this benefit” said Lloyd Drust, organizer of The No Glow Concert in Fort Collins, Colorado on March 2, 2008. "In the 39 years I have lived in Fort Collins, I can''t recall a proposed project that could offer the region so little in economic gain with so much potential risk to the environment and our quality of life."
Joining Russ on this recording is Jerry Palmer playing lap steel guitar.
Special thanks to Tom Capek at Colorado Sound for mastering.

THE NO URANIUM SONG
(Written by Russ Hopkins, © 2008)
We need Uranium to trigger bombs, to feed reactors
It comes from in the ground, a geological disaster
Hell no, we won''t glow without a fight
No shining beacon in the dark of night
This business it has tipped it''s hand, contaminated public lands
And now it''s kissing cities, it don''t feel right, it don''t look pretty
Hell no, we won''t glow without a fight
No shining beacon in the dark of night
No toxic dump for some foreign fly-by-night
If you research it you''ll know how a greedy hand can kill the cow
And if you take the time to look, it is all there, an open book
Hell no, we won''t glow without a fight
No burning embers in the dead of night
No toxic waste dump for some foreign fly-by-night
Still may be legal but it just ain''t right
