Music of the Moment

I was resisting my urge to post this but then Judith started that darn Social Justice thread...

Workers of the world, your bodies are the gears which keep this machine moving forward!


DOA- General Strike


Oh, and Leila - I'm really digging that spearhead!

Happy May Day

...good one, Landon...both song and graphics!

here is a phil ochs...couldn't find anything recorded from his 1971 May Day concert so here is Joe Hill...I know he must have sung it there.

and this one were gonna put on the turntable...I forgot we had it.

bruce cockburn call it democracy

Interesting 'full circle' moment.....for me anyway...a new NY album with 'Needle of Death' a Bert Jansch song from the early sixties, before the group Pentangle, I think.
Neil Young used the melody from this song on 'Ambulance Blues' from "On the Beach" 1974.
I am having trouble embedding...one more try.

continued from above (EDIT....actually the previous page).....Ambulance Blues...from "On the Beach' ....Levon Helm sat in on drums on some of the album.
..I like this one a lot. this is Bert Jansch's tune from the song 'Needle of Death" video I posted on the previous page and Neil's lyrics from 1974.

Hi! Judith that Neil video was great! And thanks to everyone for such excellent posts! Wayne, Landon, Leila, Michael, Bill, Mother Burra et al.
Here's some more early 60s war protest music..... talk about early punk!

RIP GARY BURGER (1942 - March 14, 2014)

Complication,
Complication,
Complication,
Constipation!
People cry,
People die for you.
People kill,
People will for you.
People run,
Ain't it fun for you.
People go
To their deaths for you.
Complication!
