There are some seriously good
clips of folks singing Preacher and the
Slave on YouTube.
For me the standouts are by the one by
Chris Buhalis and Joe Glazer.
But the actual song, “Joe Hill” is also

Robeson, Bruce Springsteen and
Pete Seeger
But if you’re interested in this stuff,
search for ‘Preacher Slave Harry
McClintock’ for a performance by the

to the original ‘Skid Row’.
I have links to all these on my online

appreciate, especially those who have
followed Campbell Newman’s VLAD
laws, (Otherwise known as: Criminal Law
(Criminal Organisations Disruption)
Amendment Act 2013)
PM Billy Hughes despised the IWW and
in 1916, seeking to kill them off, his
government brought forth the Unlawful
Associations Act whose third clause
declared:
The following are hereby declared to be
unlawful associations, namely:-
(a) The association known as the
Industrial Workers of the World
The more things change the more they
stay the same!Roland Kennedy arrest warrant.
