One of my most memorable nights was in a bar in Los Mochis, Mexico.
A mariachi band came in, singing songs of the Mexican revolution. They came to our table, seeing obvious gringos, and asked if we knew any revolutionary songs.
We did. They soon picked up the tunes from Irish rebel songs and English workers' songs and we alternated songs until 4 a.m.

It's times like these that brings to mind that old, uplifting, Negro spiritual: 🎵 I'm gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the [fascists] I see, I'm gonna get me shotgun and kill all the [fascists] I see🎵 C'mon now, sing it with me. Y'all know the words! #iykyk #SNL
