Norm,
Let me also put in a plug for what I would consider a classic in the
"applying Marx to Socialist transformation" literature -- Branko
Horvat's 1982 _The Political Economy of Socialism_ (M.E.
Sharpe). It contains some of the same ideas as _Against
Capitalism_ but to my mind is much deeper and more grounded in
Marx and related economics and sociology.
Speaking of deep -- a couple of years ago I posted a review on Pen-
l of a concert by "The Men of the Deeps", a coal miners' choir from
Cape Breton. Some of you asked for information about getting
CDs. They were back intown last night for another concert along
with Rita McNeil, a very popular singer-songwriter also from Cape
Breton who wrote what has become the Men of the Deeps theme
song, "Working man". Together they have just released a joint
album as they are doing a national tour (19 concerts in 22 days.)
The tour is called "A Mining the Soul Christmas" and their new
album is called simply "Mining the Soul" and includes:
Working Man,
Plain Ole Miner Boy
Emigrant Eyes
We Rise Again
In A town this size
Farewell to Nova Scotia
Woring in a Coal Mine
Sweet Jesus
Dark As A Dungeon
Home I'll Be
I Shall Not Walk Alone
Stirring stuff which got two standing ovations last night to a sold-
out crowd of 2300 at our concert hall.
Anyone interested can order by mail $16.99 for Tape, $19.99 for
CD plus $5 S& H + 7% GST. (Canadian $). Send Visa or
Mastercard number with order to Rocklands Promotions, PO Box
1586, Peterborough Ontario, K9J 7H7. (For newcomers to the list,
you can read my review and the origins of this unique workers choir
in the Pen-l archives.)
