xxx This may not be news to many of you, but I just found out that Broadside magazine resumed publication in December, 1983 and is still going strong. This magazine, which publishes music and lyrics to topical/political songs, comes out monthly and they also put out records every once and a while. Past contributors to Broadside include Pete Seeger, Phil Ochs, Tom Paxton, and Malvina Reynolds. For those of you who like satirical stuff, I would especially recommend the October, 1984 "Election Issue", which includes stuff like "Jellybean Blues", "That Actor in the Whitehouse", "Here's to the State of Ronald Reagan", and "Don't Wake The President Up". Subscriptions are $20/year, back issues are $2: Broadside, PO Box 1464, New York, NY 10023. I'm sorry if this is too comercial, but I think some of this stuff is good. Also in the October issue is a copy of Woody Guthrie's original version of "This Land Is Your Land". Did you know that there were 6 verses. The last one is: One bright sunny morning, in the shadow of the steeple, By the Relief Office I saw my people - As they stood hungry, I stood there wondering if This land was made for you and me.
