X had this to say about his song Y: ... is virtually the Communist manifesto, even though Im not particularly a Communist and I do not belong to any movement. There is no real Communist state in the world; you must realize that. The Socialism I speak about ... [is] not the way some daft Russian might do it, or the Chinese might do it. That might suit them. Us, we should have a nice ... British Socialism. Y is one of the most performed songs in the world, having been covered by Madonna, Stevie Wonder, Joan Baez, Elton John, Eddie Vedder and Diana Ross. It has even been ranked at number three by Rolling Stones in their list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In the year 2000, Z bought the iconic piano on which X wrote and performed Y for £1.45m and vowed to keep the piano in Britain. In the process, he outbid other iconic British musicians such as Robbie Williams and Liam & Noel Gallagher. ID X, Y and Z.
