General Discussion

I got ahold of Joan Baez’s “Joe Hill” and have been listening to it - it’s pretty inspiring. It about some activist miner who was framed for murder and shot by firing squad for being “a problem.”

At Woodstock, Joan Baez sang a famous folk ballad celebrating Joe Hill, the itinerant miner, songwriter and union activist who was executed by an Utah firing squad in 1915. “I never died, said he” is the song's refrain. Hill's status as a labor icon and the debate about his conviction certainly never died.

I’d love to do something that stands the test of time.
