Thank you, WW, and George H, what a nice welcome. I'm sort of new to this computer thing. But this looks like a place I'd love to have been for years. Of course first I had to read the Vietnam threads. My god. How powerful!

"But the ones who call the shots won't be among the dead and lamed."

(Guess I have a sentiment or 2 lurking about, also.)

George, I've never heard of any of those artists you listed, so I gotta investigate. But do you have hints of where to find these folks? Starting with "Hard Cash." I love the title because of the double meaning: we need hard cash, and it's hard to come by. Now, Mudcat here does not carry it. Any suggestions? Web sites?

Also, in UK, it seems Billy Bragg is a name. They brought him to perform at the Labor Day festivities in Detroit this year. I got one CD with his "new improved" Internationale on it. And for somebody who's supposed to be on the workers' side, he replaced all the workers' concerns/concepts with radical students' concerns! Can you tell me any more about this guy?

Sorry, took up more space than I meant to. Thanks again, both of you, for your responses!
