The Secret Service payed a visit to Boulder High School on November 11, after it heard that students were planning a spoken word performance of Bob Dylan’s “Masters of War” at the school’s talent show the following night. The school’s principal Ron Carrera told the November 12 rocky Mountain News that the government agnts were concerned that the students may be planning to use the lyrics of the last verse, which begins, “And I hope that you die; And your death will come soon”, to issue a death threat against the president. The show, however, did go on.
