digg

Minstrel and progressive activist David Rovics composed and recorded his Song for Bradley Manning.  The song and its official video were among the first credible works of art created in acknowledgement of the service Manning performed as whistleblower and patriot. Two years later. David Rovics changed the song to match Chelsea’s name, and in an essay and video posted on his site Friday, he describes how he came around to changing the song to reflect the reality of Chelsea Manning.
