Can't Straddle that Fence..

I felt I ought disambiguate where I stand. Just for the record..

First, a song perhaps made most famous by Pete Seeger, here performed by the inimitable Nathalie Merchant at the 85th birthday party thrown for Fr. Daniel Berrigan SJ:



de la poésie :

Don't scab for the bosses,
Don't listen to their lies.
Poor folks ain't got a chance
Unless they organize.


Same theme, different backbeat:




à la fureur :

I'm anti-uppin'-your-dollars-with-telekinesis
(I done tried everyday, and that sh*t just decreases)..



They say in Harlan County, there are no neutrals there. You'll either be a union man or a thug for J. H. Claire ..
