Your Playlist: Here's to You by Ennio Morricone and Joan Baez
I heard Here's to You by Ennio Morricone and Joan Baez for the first time today. One of my kids turned me onto it. How is it that a Gen Z'r was hip to this 1971 gem? Unsurprisingly, it features in a video game -- Metal Gear.
Anyhoo... the song is a great one for immprofs. You might use it for exclusion on political grounds (anarchists) or for your class on noncitizens in the criminal justice system.
Wikipedia has the full tale. It's a song about Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti--Italian immigrant anarchists who were executed in the United States in 1927 after being convicted of murder.
Give it a listen:
