Marianne Faithfull - "Working Class Hero". (live )

[frank02111]

Yes I can relate to both videos. Icame from a blue color family. This song sounds great. John was a true artist who died many yrs befor my self.

[frank02111]

Did John L. write this?

[dog8channels]

@frank02111 Yes, He most certainly did. Do you relate to what is said. His version sounds different. But it tells a real truth "learn how to smile as we kill if we want to live like the folks on the hill". But even then my arse would still get kicked down the hill. Look at how he was shot down by some rotten arsehole in 1980 in front of his home in NYC. Some working class heroes know how to stash that money down. I had an auntie who died at 82 with lots of money still in probate.bookeeper thejob

I spent my youth listening to The Clash.

I never encountered Marianne Faithfull's music until about ten years ago.

The first time I heard her voice, I thought "She sounds just like Tymon Dogg!"

I still think that.

Great song! Very appropriate here in 2011 with the class warfare against us of the working class by the rich class!

[RegNVarG]

@SpotNFlo ..... WronG again, even at this late.... quite the contrary, as i long ago "enrolled" in U.tube.U to enhance my ever developing AwarEness (unlike the 88% klass of two legged creatures squandering ever finite resources)

..... and TV 4 SurE is >>NOT<< part of my campaign of late, thus affording me the potential of other trails into time

gnometaquin - Do you have "Blazing Away," -recordings selected from this performance? I would not presume to say that it's the complete concert, which may simply be your point: but there was a time when I would buy a used copy every time I saw one just to give away to the next youngster who passed my way... I don't get out much anymore, nor does my wallet allow such musical 'yay- here you are...' But, it's easily in my life's Top 10.

[gnometaquin]

I'd Luv so much to find the complete concert of St-Anne's cathedral NYC. This concert begins with cover of Edith Piaf's «Les prisons du Roy»

[TheWatzzupdude]

Thank you for this vid.

Like it very very much for years....
