Patron saint of my preschool mornings and of this blog, Tom Waits, just released his first new song in two years. It’s a remake of an old Italian folk ballad that was an anthem of Italian anti-fascist fighters during World War II. Timely, no?
This clearly wasn’t a coincidental parallel either, as you can see with the accompanying video which features footage from recent anti-Trump protests.
The song is a fab collab with Marc Ribot from his upcoming album Songs of Resistance 1948-2018. Time to put that one on my radar. Mille grazie, Bella Ciao. 😘
