Strikes and industrials? Heck yeah. I love "Coal Tattoo." And "Dark As A Dungeon." And the Union songs I learned at my daddy's knees, like "Union Maid." Woody Guthrie, Joe Hill -- if I know 'em, I'll sing 'em. Why wouldn't I?

The song from which I took my nom-des-claviers, by the way, was "Outlawed Rapparee." These days, when I sing it, I change the chorus slightly to

"So lift your glasses, friends, with mine
And give you hand to me,
I'm the tyrant's foe
I'm freedom's friend
I'm an outlawed raparree."

I hope the authors don't mind.
