MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History January 20, 1986: Bruce Springsteen's "My Hometown" topped the music charts on this date. The song, a eulogy for dying industrial cities, includes the lines: "Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores / Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more / They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks / Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back to your hometown / Your hometown / Your hometown / Your hometown . . ." <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77gKSp8WoRg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=77gKSp8WoR</span><span class="invisible">g</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MyHomeTown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyHomeTown</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/brucespringsteen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brucespringsteen</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unemployment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unemployment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/outsourcing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outsourcing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RustBelt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RustBelt</span></a></p>
