Cover art for Harry Bridges lyrics by Rancid

No, he's real - I dont know many details, but he was a union leader in the 30s or thereabouts, and he rallyed up the workforce (dock workers i think) and make a stand against their shitty working conditions. During one of their pickets the police opened fire into a crowd and killed three of them. Thats all I know, but its better than nothing, eh?
