Soul Asylum "P-9"

Soul Asylum are the quintessential little band that could; it only took ten years to turn them from a teenage garage band into multi-platinum-selling rock stars. Guitarist Dan Murphy, bassist Karl Mueller, and drummer Dave Pirner formed in 1981 as Loud Fast Rules in Minneapolis, MN. When the shambolic, no-longer-teenage band burst onto the scene in 1984, Soul Asylum had added Grant Young on drums and switched Pirner to rhythm guitar and vocals for the loud and fast Twin Tone album Say What You Will, Clarence...Karl Sold the Truck.

This song was written in support of a workers' strike against Hormel Foods company in 1985.

Wow I didn't know Soul Asylum had a video from this far back. Is this their first video? What was their first album to have a music video?

Is this song about the Hormel strike in the mid-80's?
