SOTD for Saturday, October 22, 2011.

During the cold war period the political right was all up in arms about Communism and, of course, anyone who opposed them was labeled a "commie".  You still hear some of that today from that direction.  This song, recorded by the Chad Michell Trio in 1962, a time when even popular acts were doing political songs, reminds us that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
