1. Bragg put on one of the best shows I ever saw |
|
It was back in the late 80s, a benefit at UNC for striking Virginia coal miners.
One of my friends was on the stage crew. He gave them all t-shirts because he knew they were underpaid.
Thanks for posting that.

3. He's sort of like a cross between Woody Guthrie and the Clash |
|
Populist folk singer from England with an attitude.
