The Baltimore #freddiegray depraved heart homicide charges & so many other recent police wrongs reminded me of this great protest song by Sinead.
Can't get this out of my head for some reason.
I read the New Yorker piece on Sinead last night, and this has been in my head ever since.... in about 7th grade, I think, this was one of my favourite songs. My brother had introduced me to this album, this song in particular, and I would sit in my room and play this on my crappy acoustic and sing my heart out.... To me, it was one of the most brilliant pieces of music I had ever heard. (it still is)
This song came to mind after all the recent shootings and racial unrest...
