Thread Name: Lyr Req: Angela Davis (Chris McCloud)
Subject: RE: song about Angela Davis
I have a Cd of Ewan MacColl& Peggy Seeger songs and there is a song called Angela Davis which it says MacColl wrote in 1971 but Angela Davis is not mentioned by name in what is a dialogue song between the ideas of Romantic love expressed in MacColl's part of the performance and a down to earth, feminist idea of love expressed by Seeger. I have often wondered whether it is a mistake in titling because I don't see why MacColl would think that Angela Davis is a particularly apt title ? Any ideas about this ?
