Hi Jack - nice to hear your voice again - sort of!
Your posting reminded me of two of your own songs from the Golden Age of political songwriting - 'The Grapepickers Tragedy' and, to my mind, one of the best songs to come out of that era, The Chile Song - 'We Will Fight' the thought of which still brings a lump to the throat, though I haven't heard it in ages.
Maybe it should have been part of the funeral service for Pinochet's friend and political pupil when she went to join the 'choir Invisibule last week.   
All the best,
Jim Carroll
