Molly Shapiro witnessed poverty and deprivation as a child. "It tore a hole in my heart, which made me become the leftist I became," she says, recalling her early years in Brooklyn. "I got my first job at age 13 and when I was 16 there was a strike at Klein's Department Store and I marched on my first picket line." She moved to El Paso with her husband when their son Larry was diagnosed with asthma. They opened a book and record shop. Classical music was her specialty; politics was her passion. "When AS&R refused to recognize the Smelter Workers Union after the war the workers went on strike, the Times and the Post gave it the silent treatment, so we bought ads in the papers. All liberal organizations were being attacked during the McCarthy hearings, and there was an article in the El Paso Times that referred to me as an officer in an alleged communist organization. It was no more communist than this wall, but that's how it was then. The rabbi suggested that I fight the Times, but I said, 'Naw, fuck 'em.'" Eventually Shapiro and her husband drifted apart: "We lived separate lives in separate worlds. He was liberal, I was radical. He was agnostic, I was atheist."

@westpalmscott I do agree. better than the live version of 801 live, that's a great record as well.

I love the studio version of this. Manzanerra and Eno made for a great combination.

Have to give Manzanera credit here too! The guitar harmonics are very cool.

Great tune, epic Eno brilliance, as usual.
Oh, and some wanking useless leftist bilge. Also as usual.
