OK, Bruce is God, but still. This record grabbed me much more, with its melody and power and absolute fury.
It reminds me more than anyone of Billy Bragg. I just played it ten times in a row. I would SO love to hear thousands of people singing/shouting it as they marched through Minneapolis or New York or Chicago or L.A. or Your Town USA.
Enormous thanks to GDbot, who posted this music in their comment in crystalline’s Bluesky gems on the 28th.
If you click through to YouTube, you’ll discover that the poster scaredketchup says their YouTube channel has been demonetized. I sent them a thank-you for raising my heart rate and letting me feel the power of the people in song.
NSFW, in case that was not screamingly obvious…
** One commenter below says “the song” is AI. I have no idea, I just love it. Wouldn’t surprise me if parts of the video were AI. What do people think?
