Thread Name: Old Radical Songs from the 50's
Subject: Old Radical Songs from the 50's
Anybody like me, who was a (sort of) 1950's radical, should take a look at Socialist Songbook, published by the Young People's Socialist League (Schactmanites, who were an odd cross between Trotzkyists and humanitarians).
There are references in some of the threads to the "Bosses Songbook." Which has lots of good satire. Including the "Ballad of Pete Seeger," which I suspect will get me in trouble here, but what the heck?! All those good songs, including Cloakmamer's Union [sic] from our very own DT, is there!
