    My birthday. 19,11,68. Massive Joe Hill fan, maybe not the word. Admirer and hope for humanity, is more accurate. We need this man. NOW! But.. he never dies! He's in us all!

    My mother and some of her sisters met and became friends Mr. Robeson. Gave me a love of his music and politics, that stays with me still. Miss you, you crazy lady!

    We had the Dubliner's version of the song growing up - thanks for the connections back to Connelly and Larkin.

    Great video Bazzie Cullen. Thank you very much. Love the way it ends with the song from Paul Robeson. I used to live next to Paul Robeson Strasse in East Berlin.

    He is from Gävle, not Gälve as is spelled on the map. 🙂
    Yes, I have played in the small museum garden in Joe Hill-gården.
    It is impressive that he handled the English as good, as it was his second language.

    Was there ever a time when the like's of Joe Hill was needed more than now? We have been sold down the drain by our " Labour Movement". It's amazing what sitting in the back of a Mercedes does to people. Shame on them.

    Even worse now. We have the richest man in the world, this Lex Luthor character, flying to space on the backs of his warehouse workers and thanking them for it. How about using taking the money that stroked a billionaire’s massive ego and brought back no science, and paying his workers a living wage with it?

    • @alexrayoalv

      And it’s worse because the billionaires are fast trying to rob all leverage from the working class. Artificial general intelligence and universal robots are coming. OpenAI, Microsoft, Tesla, Amazon, Google, Meta.. They’re in a race to claim this pie at the expense of all others. Totalitarian cyberpunk dystopia?

    If only the narrator had slowed down his delivery I wouldn't have given up on this half way through. Very difficult to catch what he is saying at times.

    many musicians have murdered people. They are not immune from greed. if his alibi were true he would have revealed the details. He didnt because he had no true alibi
