Yeah, I didnt get that. I guess that accounts for a reasonable chunk of your advantage.

And I would be bound to rhetort that the high pricing was necessary to offset the price of bringing along the band. The last show and on his website the shirts are a very reasonable $15.

Title: Re: 80's Lyrics Quiz
Post by: markie on November 04, 2003, 02:58:00 pm
I presume he is rying to change the system from the inside  :p

Bragg only notes three shirts that are made by non-sweatshop labor.  What about the other ones?

Poor code there, was not given points for the whole plural/singular thing (and I am not sure he is right for those).  In the end a 58.  I tried to ignore the 80's, didn't do well enough.
