No time like the present to update my Lean On Me! post from last year with some more Redskins from my own collection and from penguinflight's boxes. I cannot recall the number of times I saw the Redskins onstage between 1983-1985, but it was substantial - most of the time with the then young troubadour Billy Bragg. Politics can be an idealistic game, and the NME journo X-Moore (real name Chris Moore) toured his Redskins skinhead soul-brand around the UK preaching to the massed converted studentia. Yep, I was once one. They were quickly snapped up by Decca Records and made a few small dents into the hit parade eventually infiltrating the mainstream, though I doubt many ever got the message.
