Thread Name: Which Town is MacColl's Dirty Old Town?
Subject: RE: Which Town is MacColl's Dirty Old Town?
It's interesting and relevant if only to find out where the songs are!
I happen to think what an important figure of the 20th century (to me) did for five years of his life at a particularly important time for politics when his life as Peggy described it on Desert Island discs was "driven" by politics.

I'd like to know why no-one seemed to know him at this time.

I'd like to know how he reconciled his communism with the first couple of years of the war.

I am not bothered about him being an avid TV watcher or knowing he had difficulty purchasing a bottle of milk.

I'd actually like to know why he didn't want to tell us!!

However as I said before that's it..........no more discussion from me on this thread about him and the war.
