YouTube Song of the Week: Joe Hill

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdSbKSQYXgo
The true story of Joe Hill, IWW activist and songwriter.

(IWW = the folks that brought us the "weekend", and the 8 hour day, and bought it for all of us with their blood and prison time.)

A history lesson in a song... written by Phil Ochs, performed by Billy Bragg.
