A Joyful Noise

[intertext]

Continuing on the "awesome bits of music" theme, I'll raise you this a capella duet from Holly Near and Ronnie Gilbert. If you can watch/listen to this without getting goose-pimples, I'll be surprised. It almost always brings tears to my eyes.

Thank you so much. For a few brief days in 1972 I walked through Allende's Chile and fell hopelessly in love with that country, a land of impossible opposites, a schizophrenic contrast of up and down, old and new, rich and poor. When the coup occured not too many months later I felt a grief unlike any other I have experienced (except when Dad died).

I heard this song on the radio awhile back but the DJ never identified it. It makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.
