astro and I had a fine time at a house concert by Rosalie Sorrels. She sang a song by Joe Glazer that she says she sings every four years. It was a talking blues about the 1952 election, and quite interesting (or frightening) in a "the more things change, the more things stay the same" sort of way.

I believe the words -- maybe not all of them -- are in Glazer's memoir, "Labor's Troubadour", but that page (somewhere about 120) is not coming up for me in the Google books preview, though part of the text appears in the Google search result. Anybody got it? (I've linked it just there; maybe it will work for you?)
