Sat, November 1, 2008 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM Page Auditorium. $34, $26, $20, $5. Socialist, troubador, and unapologetic romantic, Bragg once enlisted in (then quit) Britain's Royal Armoured Corps. Since then, he's used a guitar and his Cockney-accented voice to tackle themes of peace, love, and human justice with a stirring frankness. Now 50 years old, Bragg comes to Duke two days before the presidential election with a new set of original protest songs, his best in years- including odes to civil liberty, lost love, and appropriately, standing your ground.
