Jill Sobule Writes the Wrongs: "We Are the Writers" Song

Just wanted to post this appearance of Jill Sobule on NPR where she sings her official protest song for the writers strike! Have a listen. It's super!

The Bryant Park Project, November 21, 2007 - Our music essayist ponders the plight of that Cyrano of the backlot, the nameless striking member of the Writers Guild walkout. The producers get all the glory, the stars get the fame and the writer makes do with doughnuts on the picket line.

And here's a few more to check out...

-Halloween song

-Thanksgiving song, One Turkey.

The first two links don't work, but maybe it's just me.

"Just like our brothers in the coal mines... we will suffer with donuts out on Melrose..." I dunno, seems like a stretch...

That said, of course, I support the writers strike - and it's not just because of my addictions to Grey's Anatomy and Brothers & Sisters.

Solidarity forever!
