Today in Labor History August 23, 1900: Folk and protest singer Malvina Reynolds was born in San Francisco, California. She is most famous for her song, "Little Boxes," a satire on suburbia, inspired by the tacky sprawl of housing in Daly City, just outside of San Francisco. And used as the theme music for the TV series “Weeds.” As a teen, the city’s elite Lowell High School refused to give her a diploma because her parents opposed US participation in World War I.

YouTube - Happy Birthday Pete Seeger with Bruce Springsteen Joan Baez Tommy Sands many more

"Little Boxes" is a song written and composed by #MalvinaReynolds in 1962. The song was first released by her friend, #PeteSeeger, in 1963, and became his only charting single in January 1964. The song is a #socialSatire about the development of #suburbia, and associated #conformist #middleclass attitudes. It mocks suburban #tractHousing as "little boxes" of different colors "all made out of #tickytacky", and which "all look just the same".

Obsédé par cette chanson de Malvina Reynolds (qui a fait surface dans mon fil grâce à @MMRnmd, mille mercis), donc je la partage à nouveau.

I don’t mind failing

YouTube - Malvina Reynolds: Little Boxes (live 1976)

Malvina Reynolds was a gem of a human. A big activist, born to two activists, and a great musician to boot. Her most famous song, “Little Boxes” is fantastic. If you don’t know it by name, you’ve most likely heard it.

Anyway, here’s an live version that she performed back in 1976:
