Live at the Adelaide South West Community Centre, Sth Australia July 26 2009. Part of David's first headlining tour of Australia (he toured on a double bill with Alistair Hulett in 2008). For more details of his musical life and career, see http://www.davidrovics.com
When I first heard David talk about the inspiration for this song, I thought immediately about the joke (origin is dispute) that I'd never belong to a club that would be willing to have me for a member."
And then I thought about Monty Python's Life of Brian and the animosity among the "People's Front of Judea," the "Judean People's Front," the "Popular Front of Judea" (popularity limited to one person), etc.
Whatever. The comments and subsequently the song have been deeply thought-provoiking.
