I really admire Billy Bragg's music, the passion in his lyrics and the courage of his convictions. This song needs no explaination or introduction. The Price of Oil |

It is an excellent CD, and the money goes to fund anti-war organizations, like the UK's Stop the War Coalition. http://www.stopwar.org.uk/ If you scroll down, on the far left is a link that says "Peace Not War CD". And you can go here, and read Billy's own words about the song: http://www.peace-not-war.org/Statements/ |
