As mentioned before in this thread, Mudcatter Raymond Crooke, the prolific poster on YouTube, wrote a song about a Kentucky coal miner and mine safety activist, Charles Scott Howard, titled "Big Coal Don't Like This Man At All".

"Big Coal Don't Like This Man At All"

Well, Mr. Howard was fired by the coal company that he worked for back in May, 2011. He claims it was because of all the safety complaints he made. His case just went to trial last week. A public radio station in West Virginia did a story about Mr. Howard and his discharge case. It used Raymond's song both at the beginning and the end of the radio piece. Check it out below:
