Zu einem Höhepunkt der USA-Reise Dean Reeds wurde die Aufführung des "American Rebel" in der Universität von Minnesota in Minneapolis. In der überfüllten Willey Hall applaudierten mehr als 400 begeisterte Zuschauer nicht nur dem Künstler, sondern vor allem dem Friedenskämpfer Reed. Der Reinertrag der Veranstaltung nämlich kam einer Organisation zugute, die gegen den Rüstungskonzern Honeywell zu Felde zieht, der Leitsysteme für Cruise missles und Pershing-II-Raketen herstellt und bereits im Aggressionskrieg der USA gegen Vietnam Millionen an den von ihm hergestellten barbarischen Kugelbomben verdient hat.
