While we’re awaiting the inevitable proletarian triumph over the slavemasters of Wall Street, let’s have a list of your favorite working-class anthems in comments. Here are a few of mine:
• “Joe Hill,” by Paul Robeson.
• “Which Side Are You On?,” by Billy Bragg.
• “All You Fascists Are Bound To Lose,” by Woody Guthie.
• “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?,” by Tom Waits.
• “The Red Flag,” by Jim Connell.
• “The Sergeant and Arthur McBride,” by Paul Brady.
• “Hallelujah, I’m a Bum,” by Utah Phillips.
• “Christmas In Washington,” by Steve Earle.
• “I’m Changing My Name To Fannie Mae,” by Arlo Guthrie.
