I wrote and performed this about a year and a half ago. Listening to it now, I’m reminded that :

• Political art is really, really easy to do, but unimaginably hard to do well. Offhand I can only think of three or four successful practitioners — Brecht, Joe Strummer, Woody Guthrie, Dylan ( people who think that being child-like is effective political art don’t count, and most folk music shares two chords and one metaphor). I’d give myself a C+ on this, except
• This is a live recording that really should have been reworked as a studio piece because the timing issues are just too critical for live performance, at least by me.

However.

Since I’m not likely to find the time to do a better job, and because its hour has come round at last, here it is.
