John Sinkevics of The Grand Rapids Press compiled a list of a dozen classic songs that celebrate labor or protest its unfairness for a feature in today's edition celebrating Labor Day. It's titled Whistle while you work (or not): 12 Labor Day songs to pump up your holiday and Rush's Working Man made the list at #10 (thanks RushFanForever). For all of you working men (and women) out there, here's Rush performing Working Man from their televised 1974 Canadian Bandstand gig at Laura Secord High School in St. Catharines, ON.
... They call me the workin' man. I guess that's what I am ... Happy Labor Day everybody!
