“City of Heroes”

“City of Heroes” is a song from Billy Bragg:

I wrote this song yesterday as a tribute to the bravery of the people of Minneapolis who, knowing that these trigger happy ICE thugs operate with seeming impunity in their midst, are still willing to put themselves in harms way to defend their community. Their resistance is an inspiration to us all.
Thanks, Sean.

I just found a gentle grief song by the Marsh family. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRHxXHZmVAM&list=RDBRHxXHZmVAM&start_radio=1

So startling to hear that song recast in today’s terms. Thanks, Sean.
