Labor and Grown-up Anger
Grown-up Anger is an exciting romp through labor union history through the lens of American music. Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie’s protest and solidarity songs represent the disaffection of those marginalized by industrialization, war and later, globalization. If you’re not sure why we need unions, and why they’re still important, consider Daniel Wolff’s Grown-Up Anger a must read. --

Grown-Up Anger: The Connected Mysteries of Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, and the Calumet Massacre of 1913
Whether you came to Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie in 1965 or 2016, Grown-Up Anger will change the way you hear "This Land Is Your Land" and "Like a Rolling Stone." Beginning with the 1913 Calumet Massacre, Daniel Wolff provides a primer on the complicated history of anger, political and personal in American music, one that's never been more needed than it is today. There aren't many cultural histories that read like they've been written for activists and fans. Grown-Up Anger moves to the head of that list. --Craig Werner, Evjue-Bascom Professor of Afro-American Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison, author of “A Change Is Gonna Come.”

ANGER goes north
The third of GROWN-UP ANGER that isn't about Dyland and Guthrie is about the 1913 massacre in Calumet, Michigan. Singer/songwriter Chris Buhalis and I went there last week. As well as a teaching stint at Michigan Tech, we did a presentation at the Calumet library with a generous reception from those intimately involved with that long-ago tragedy. Here's a write-up from the local paper:Grown-Up Anger: The Connected Mysteries of Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, and the Calumet Massacre of 1913
