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.

But that was pretty damned good. 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.
