Dambusters Live 2001 Tour

What right do I have?

     

I am not an overtly politically active person, I am not ‘hard’, I am not even that well read or opinionated but listening to this album makes me want to be. That is the power of this album and that is the power of Mark Thomas. Mark talks passionately and intelligently about subjects that are clearly important to him and this adds an honesty and pace to his performance. This album is difficult to categorise, it is not out and out comedy although it did make me laugh, it is not a tragedy although it did make me cry, it is not a call to arms and yet it did make me angry, that the events described happened now five years ago and yet I am so cocooned I did not know about them until I downloaded something to (maybe) make my commute to work a little less tiresome. It is however a celebration, a deserved celebration and one that as many people as possible should share in and become aware of. Thank you Mark for releasing this and thank you iTunes for making it available. Buy this listen to it, then invite your family listen to it, then your friends and then random people you meet on the street.
