[AndJustStare]

I hope people realise that history is happening again.

[MrPhilroo123]

[SuperChris2k10]

[612franklin]

These are the long songs. D'Ya know what he's talkin' 'bout? Martial arts of the voice; not a breath was wasted. RIP

[bakunin2010]

Larkin would be proud!

[egdrake]

If fox "news" had their way a song like this would be censored, screw fox news and all the fascists!

[realamerican45]

@egdrake fascists? im sure your bitching has some foundation in fact, but clearly they (and me as a supporter) are not fascists. but please message me back with a logically structured rebutle. but if you support what we attack i wont hold my breath on that...

[tony10396861]

@realamerican45 The word is rebuttal. Anyone who takes Fox news seriously needs a new brain. I watch Fox when I need a good laugh

[irishgeal1]

[vivascargill]

[mco2obx]

Wonderful tune,wonderful words about a wonderful man, and sung by the most wonderful of singers, R.I.P. Luke.

[kennyworth1967]

Great song!

[joeygsmom]

I thought after a while the "enchantment" of Luke's voice would wear off, I was wrong! Im more addicted to his voice than before, I just dont get tired if his music cant help myself, what can one do :)

[grassroots59]

It is really nice to hear this song again. I last heard it during the 84-85 miners strike. Ex Durham miner.

[Rainb0wGirl]

förvisso...men det blir bara sämre ändå...

[sozidomm]

„Trauert nicht, organisiert euch!" (Don´t mourn - organize!)

"Don't mourn, Organize!" - Joe Hill

[R0saHelik0pter]

Sweden needs more Joe Hill's especially today...the country is going down, thanks to incompetent politicians and a people that dont know when to say "enough is enough"!

Great song! about a great man!

[jmy100]

No Pasaran!

Leve SAC & SUF.

[jaymcgeo]

incompetent politicians you should live in n ireland they dont have a clue we have no hope with these bigots on both sides luke kelly is the best later

[sebreathnach]

Why is it that I prefer the real thing, Paul Robeson?

[raphael2176]

Paul Robeson was unsurpassable. Luke Kelly is equally brillant. Why quibble? they were both gifts to music. Just enjoy.

[sebreathnach]

I think I agree; but Paul Robeson had to prove his conviction with his lifestyle ,not just with his voice. Moreover,  the ideals he shared with Joe Hil weren't just sentiments in a song but convictions that prevented him from singing in the West. As you are aware, he was made berufsverboten for his political beliefs.

[andrewwigglesworth]

sebreathnach, are you saying that Luke Kelly only sang this song but didn't really understand it?

Luke Kelly and Paul Robeson were both communists, of different generations, born in different countries, but both with a passion for peace, the end to discrimination and for socialism.

Luke Kelly had plenty of credentials to show his understanding and sympathy for the sentiments behind this song.

[dianasatyr]

A voice that disinters this great song and revitalizes it for another Gilded Age.

[7pen]
