Subject: RE: Help: Wasn't that a time
This was the song that Seeger wanted to play for the HUAC (after being questioned about it). They considered it verrrry Un-Amurrican. They really objected to the line "there is no victory in a land, where FREE men go to jail"

Bloody good song. Certainly lends itself to re-writes and re-surfacing.
