Conquistador

Bettie Black says: During the dotcom boom of 1999 - 2001 I saw new internet companies sprout like weeds, non profits squeezed out, rents skyrocket, and many artists and musicians I knew moved to Los Angeles. There seemed to be a parallel for me in history - to the overthrow of native indian cultures by the Spanish missionaries during the settlement of California; this led to my song "Conquistador". Will our major American cities become playgrounds for wealthy capitalists? Will we lose the beauty, color, diversity, culture and art that makes this City my home?
Thanks for helping to report a problem with the song "Conquistador" - please provide us with as much info as you can.
