George
Bernard Shaw once observed that the resonable person bends themselves
to the World, while the unreasonable person seeks to bend the world
to themselves. He concluded therefore all progress depends upon the
unreasonable person,
Thats
why the left has the protest song and the passion. Throughout history
the writer, the poet and the musician have railed against the world.
The Conservative and the ap;critical have copped out and said ..I was
only doing my job and “ I am not political” Theory has long been
critical and so is hope and imagination
These
are songs that have sustained me over the years. I have never been
conservative, predictable or compliant..long may it be so....
There are finally these two songs that stand out. I remember singing along to the Strawbs in the early 70s. it was 1973..the miners were on strike and the Tory government was on its last legs
Finally my all time favourite "The Internationale"
