Jack and Jill in Junior High
I am in the process of writing the rough draft of another novel, You’re the One: The True Story of Jack and Jill (see blog post “Current Project (So Far).” In the meantime, I thought I’d share an excerpt from time to time. I invite any feedback. This is a rough draft and your comments will help me develop the novel. The following is the second post excerpt.

"Joe Hill wrote a song for the Free Speech fight of 1910, and it was introduced on the streets of Spokane by Haywire Mac McClintock. He was a branch secretary [of the IWW] then, he wrote "Big Rock Candy Mountain" and "Hallelujah, I'm a bum!". He got together a little band: T-Bone Slim, a tuba, a garbage can lid. They stood in a doorway waiting to leap out at the unemployed throng, regale them with song.
They used a shill to build the crowd, you know, a carny shill? Somebody who uses tricks to build a crowd? His name was Tresca, he wore a black suit, a black bowler hat, a string tie with an umbrella and a briefcase. Looked like a banker.
He walked down where they were hiding in the doorway and suddenly he started to yell "Help! Help! Help! I've been robbed! Help! I've been robbed!". Everybody'd run across the street, "what's the matter, what's the matter". Soon as he got the crowd together, he yelled: "I'VE BEEN ROBBED BY THE CAPITALIST SYSTEM, FELLOW-WORKERS!"
He talked to them for ten minutes, and then the boys would leap out and start singing, and this is what they were singing."
Utah Phillips - The Preacher and the Slave ("Pie in the Sky")
Long-haired preachers come out every night
To try to tell you what's wrong and what's right
But when asked about something to eat
They will answer in voices so sweet
You will eat, bye and bye
In that glorious land in the sky [Way up high!]
Work and pray, live on hay
You'll get pie in the sky when you die [THAT'S A LIE!]
The Starvation Army they play
And they shout and they clap and they pray
When they've got all your coins on the drum
They will tell you when you're on the bum
You will eat, bye and bye
In that glorious land in the sky [Way up high!]
Work and pray, live on hay
You'll get pie in the sky when you die [THAT'S A LIE!]
Working folks of all countries unite
Side by side we for freedom shall fight
When this world and its wealth we have gained
To the grafters we'll sing this refrain
You will eat, bye and bye
When you've learned how to cook and how to fry [How to fry!]
Chop some wood, it'll do you good
And you'll eat in that sweet bye and bye [THAT'S NO LIE!]
full lyrics, from the 1911 edition of the IWW’s Little Red Songbook, here

Luke 13:1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise…
