DFH, part 3…

Me and Bikemonkey are having a little competition of the DFH (that’s Dirty Folk Heroes… for the uninitiated)…. touched off by Pete Seeger.  For you, Bikemonkey- I’ll pull out the old Billy Bragg…

I love this Woody Guthrie classic… with and without the forbidden verses, I had to share.
