The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Dropkick Murphys, "Worker's Song" from Blackout (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: The long Labor Day weekend seems an apropos occasion to give vent to the Murphys' unfortunately simplistic leftist ranting. I am puzzled as to why the song is titled "Worker's Song" instead of "Workers' Song." Sure, it could be any individual worker's song, but the lyrics are all in the plural possessive, as if it is the collective workers' song, "We're…" this & "We're…" that & so forth. This is a critique, not a criticism. Happy Labor Day, all!
