Protests (often incredibly violent ones) are why we have unions.
*Note an accurate explanation of how we got our rights isn't directly advocating for how to keep them or as advocacy for violence in any form, because that's what unacceptable about this situation
And songs like “Which Side Are You On?” make it clear that it wasn’t easy.
I've seen Dylan live, but I didn't know he made an original till right now...
I immediately thought of the Dead Prez version from a decade ago and wasn't sure what was going on lol
Pete Seeger was the first to record it. I cannot recall who the original songwriter was but her husband was a miner and not a scab for JH Blair. I strongly suggest finding one if the live versions from the earlier days if you can. It’s a great song to hear thousands singing in unison especially when you know most were unionized
Was just coming to fix that lol.
I searched it and saw a B Dolan version from like a dozen years ago and got mixed up.
Pete is the guy Bob wanted to be as a kid
