Lyrics & Music by Iain Scally
Album: The Piper has Gone
Another song by Iain Scally.. In his own words it's not a protest song, but touches on the effect of the 1914-18 war on those left behind..
It's a story which involves an old lady who used to live in the cottage adjoining our house at the time. Jamie, the hero, was a ghostly figure who used to, "appear", quite regularly and took the form of a WW1 soldier and Mary was an idiosyncratic old character who refused to have any modern conveniences installed in her home by the landlord despite all his best efforts. She died, having reached the ripe old age of 80-odd still burning the paraffin lamp and carrying water from the well at the end of the village all her days. The idea of making them an item was my fertile imagination seeking an explanation for her reluctance to move forward.

Lo stupro di Franca Rame: fascisti, carabinieri e «una volontà superiore»
di Girolamo De Michele
da Carmilla Online
Il 9 marzo 1973 Franca Rame fu sequestrata da cinque uomini, costretta a salire su un furgone all’interno della quale fu torturata e violentata. Come si sa, Franca è riuscita a raccontare la violenza subita in un monologo intitolato appunto “Lo stupro”, che inserì nello spettacolo “Tutta casa, letto e chiesa”. Per molto tempo, Franca raccontò di essersi ispirata ad un episodio di cronaca, non rivelando di essere stata lei stessa la vittima dello stupro.
La sera del 9 marzo 1973, alla notizia dell’avvenuto stupro, qualcuno a Milano gioì: era il generale Palumbo, comandante della divisione Pastrengo. «La notizia dello stupro della Rame in caserma fu accolta con euforia, il comandante era festante come se avesse fatto una bella operazione di servizio. Anzi, di più…», secondo... (Continues)

Let's make it clear: This is a cause to celebrate, to party, to stamp the dirt down.

1988
"Smash Clause 28! Fight the Alton Bill!" is a 1988 single from anarcho-punk band Chumbawamba on their Agit Prop Records label. It is a benefit record for the London Lesbian and Gay Switchboard and the Women's Reproductive Rights Campaign.
Clause 28, also known as Section 28, was a controversial bill proposed in the United Kingdom to curtail the promotion or acceptance of homosexuality. The Alton Bill was a set of laws designed to make abortion far more restrictive in the United Kingdom. As the song titles suggest, the members of Chumbawamba felt strongly that these movements were not in the best interest of the public.
On the record itself the band shout "Clause 29!", which was accurate at the time of recording. Soon after, the bill was changed to Clause 28.

Hearts and Minds is a protest of a different sort. It's the observations of an ordinary bloke who happens to be a soldier. He's doing his job and duty in the unhealthy atmosphere of Iraq but can still look around him and see parallels between the folks getting on with their daily life despite the same unhealthy atmosphere and his own parents eking out an existence on a croft in Buchan.'
"A "single", featuring the words of a poem written by a friend, Jean Bambrick, a former journalist who tells the story of a Buchan loon writing home to his parents with his observations of the day to day existence of Iraqi families who are caught up in the conflict but just want to get on with their lives as best they can".

Calling Mumia
![Calling Mumia](img/upl/Inprisonmywholelife.jpg)
It was recorded under the alias of '100 Suns' and features on the soundtrack of the 2007 documentary 'In Prison My Whole Life' which revolves around the life of Mumia Abu-Jamal.
News first hit of this unusual collaboration between Massive Attack and American hip-hop star, Snoop Dogg, back in May 2007. The genesis of the song was from both artists being musically apart of the documentary film, ‘In Prison My Whole Life’.
In Massive Attack’s case, they had been commissioned (under the guise of 100 Suns, a name they have been using to disassociate certain film/advertising projects and collaborations like this one away from the Massive Attack name/brand) to pen the instrumental score for the film, while Snoop Dogg had already produced a song named after the film.
