The (English) Beat - I Am Your Flag (live on ORS 1981)

[MrTet68]

hugely poingnant song about nationalism -- most modern bands could not touch them for spreading a message you can dance to.. - the line i ran into Afghanistan was referencing the Soviets when Osama was a freedom fighter.. how ironic ..brilliant and Saxa was nearly retired - though Wesley was also a brill sax player

[arcturianeye]

The song is so relevant

they had a style and knack for current issues. " ran into Afghanistan"

Writing and singing about human nature..incredible!!!!!!

Great band, you don't see many live versions of this song. Thanks

[gilettecola]

Yeah, great track from a great album. Do you know if they performed any other track on ORS that evening?

Stirring music, brilliant, thought provoking lyrics. God, a hundred times better than the cliched, over marketed, unexceptional crap that fills CDs from contemporary artists. Can you imagine a song from a contemporary band with lyrics about Iraq getting into the charts now?
