Thread Name: Strawbs' Part of the Union
Subject: RE: Strawbs' Part of the Union
It,s as you say belfast.I'm trying to think of other similar examples.
I always felt sympathetic to Billy Bragg's claim that Duran Duran were as Political as he was.
Still occasionally wonder if any first time voters who opted for the Tories in'83 thought doing so would help bring that sort of lifestyle within their grasp.
Also I have never been entirely unsympathetic to those who claim that "Live Aid" was a process by which wealthy people in Western industrial democracies persuaded poorer people in their own countries to give money to wealthy people in the developing world by persuading them that this would bring Justice to poorer peoples in that environment.
Any other examples?
