The Lonesome Death of Rachel Corrie

Last Monday night, on the eve of our wedding anniversary, Ira and I saw Billy Bragg play live at the Double Door. That night Bragg debuted a new song that he had written earlier that day on the flight from Minneapolis to Chicago. The song was The Lonesome Death of Rachel Corrie, written about the late peace activist who was killed by an Isreali bulldozer in Gaza. You can read Bragg's remarks about the song and download it on The Guardian.
