1 Sept 2008: Labor Day

[RGMike]

early start for the traditional Labor set. We're takin' what Dave's givin', 'cause it's "Workin for a Livin'"

[RGMike]

always a BOS for the Cate Bros great "Union Man", a fine '70s OHW.

I just tuned in; but I thought that was the Strawbs?

[RGMike]

BOS2 Strawbs.  This would appear to be the same Labor Day set we've gotten the last 2 years, but as it's one of Dave's best (and most political) sets of the year, no complaints from me.  BOS3 Randy Newman.

Cate Bros: "Union Man"
Strawbs: "Part of the Union"

no "Union of the Snake" from DD, tho'

[RGMike]

but yer still bleepin' peasants if you vote GOP.

[Gazoo]

BOS to JL's "Working Class Hero."  Green Day charted a year or two ago with an inferior cover.

[Gazoo]

BOS2 to the clip of Michael Moore's Roger and Me.  That one minute is a perfect indictment of American oligopoly and GOP-infused hypocrisy.

[RGMike]

BOS4 Stan Ridgeway, just 'cause we only hear it once a year.

[Gazoo]

Take This Job and SHOVE IT!  Great line, though the tune's ultimately a broken-heart song.

You read my mind!  I've always said "TTJ&SI" was a great political title wasted on a non-political song. (A *good* non-political song, but still)
