Ciao Malvina

I'm listening to Malvina Reynolds sing it like it is right now.

some lyrics from the first track to the complation "Ear to the Ground"

it isn' nice to block the doorway

it isn't nice to go to jail

there are nicer ways to do it

but the nice ways always fail ....

it isn't nice it isn't nice

you told us once you told us twice

but if that is freedom's price

we don't mind

...

we have tried negotioan

and the three-man picket line

mr charlie didn't see us

and he might as well be blind

now our new ways aren't nice

when we deal with men of ice

but if that is freedom's price

we don't mind

the song goes on...the cd goes on...Malvina's spirit goes on...

you may have heard her song "Little Boxes." I encountered it just two weeks ago, when I saw it used in the intro to the TV show Weeds. It's fabulous.
