Mommybrain, that’s such a good one.
ES, I had the Buffy St. Marie version of that playing on YouTube earlier.

Cops Of The World — Phil Ochs

Not a direct protest song but worth mentioning, imo. Kate Bush sings Army Dreamers with three German soldiers.

I Ain’t Marching Anymore

still the best, imho.

I have a ton of utubes but i’m not going to give any of the links tonight so that i don’t duplicate any pup’s submission.

No More Drama

One of my all time favorite songs, by two of my favorite singers Al and Otis. Not for the contest – just cuz.

Jeez. Wonder who convinced them otherwise, grohl struck me as rather smart any time i’ve seen him in interviews. I also didn’t KNOW that before i posted the song. As all i’ve mostly followed is the music, not their causes.

Last blast from here, it’s bedtime!

One more Midnight Oil

Midnight Oil – Beds are Burning

Leaders take us far away from ecology
with astrology and mythology,
Has got some words to say about the way we live today
Why can’t we learn to love each other
It’s time to learn a new faith
to the whole world wide human race
and stop the money chase and lay back
relax and get back on the human track
Stop racing toward oblivion
oh such a sad sad state we’re in
And that’s a thing do you recognize the bell of truth
when you hear it ring
Won’t you stop and listen to the children sing

WooHoo, the wedding dress arriving makes it REAL Suzanne. Any progress on finding the mother-of-the-bride outfit?

Does no one play protest music anymore? A lotta this stuff goes back a few years.

One or two nowdays, Fern. But the modern industry pretty much said ‘no you we will NOT play this on anything if you cut this record.’ Only a few major bands got away with protest music, like Green Day. And they manged to make an incredible concept album out of American Idiot. Otherwise? Welcome to popslut,american idol, and boy band radio. Now also including rap and hiphop glam, yet more crap and very little actual protest allowed beyond bragging how rich and how tough you are. Cause that ’sells’.

Can you tell i hate the modern industry just a tad bit? *sigh* I love all these old protest songs that are much older than even i am. But nothing of note comes out of the artists today aside from one or two gems–if they’re lucky and carry enough clout.

What a combo!

…just fell down the klezmer rabbit hole….oy

persi, that’s scheduled by the organized bride to be to happen in january.

Is great question.

I can’t find an online version of “Filibuster XXX” by Antibalas, but that group does. They’re Afrobeat, so it tends not to be singable, but is it ever danceable! When it all gets to be too much for words, you can join them in singing La-la-la (YouTube), as performed this year in Austin, TX. Lest you doubt the point, proper thanks is given toward the end, to our government for its constant supply of amazement, or some such.

Oh well, if the bride has scheduled it, you must make it so. Probably not a bad idea, even swanky stores have post-Christmas sales.

yeah and that’s IF i can find a youtube or a googlevid of them. The ones i really want to post? Don’t have any kind of indie promo video of their songs. They did an incredible cover of Woodstock, Helpless, and Ohio–but unless i actually upload them to say, mediafire or yousendit? You guys wouldn’t be able to hear it or see it.

Everything else is pretty much out of the question in terms of understanding it, even with my loose translations. I strayed away from the US bands because the quality of the music in japan is incredible in japan if you look in the right places.

There are quite a few out there still doing it, but I wonder if the 30 year plan to takeover the media, and create a complacent society is keeping any of these from really taking hold in our discourse.

Makes me think about how much of CSNY was protestmusic. When you put it all in one place, it adds up.
And then there’s just about everything Leonard Cohen wote. I can’t find a link to Song of Isaac, but “The Partisan” will do

It’s okay, it just kinda threw my chances of even getting honorable mention out the window unless the rules are bent enough for me to allow to send files of those covers i would love to share with you guys. It drives me nuts that there is NOTHING out there on video of them i can show you.

2) Tom Morello aka The Nightwatchman, “The Road I must Travel”, although again pretty much anything he records under the Nightwatchman moniker makes a pretty good “start the riot” protest song.

And as a kicker, here’s The Nightwatchman and Anti-Flag with a savagely rebellious version of “This Land is Your Land”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..re=related

Hi bluejeansntshirt,
No I sure didn’t, but I can see how he’d blend in well. Was this in the 70s?

Actually I was thinking about that song not long ago, and the ideas of vigil and resolve, and taking one’s only chance against despotism, and it’s not farfetched to me.

(And yes, was that not great drama? As the camera panned that audience, it seemed that many felt something extraordinary was happening.)

Alias seems to think so and she is in the biz. But I have to wonder just how true that is considering musicians have the internetz. The silence of young political/anti war outrage is deafening to me.

It’s deafening to me on normal radio, which is why i ignore it entirely. There’s little to no substance on anything. It’s why i’m a streaming internet DJ and not working on a satellite radio station in the Clear Channel empire right now. I’m pretty sure there’s some hiding on MySpace and whatnot, but that’s kind of a place i avoid too. For personal preferences, mostly. (Note, i hardly use my FaceBook page as it is.)

You and my older son have a shared love of anime, and he also listens to songs in Japanese.

Dang! Beat me to it!

I think part of the difference between then and now is that, in the 60s, you had to live in a shoebox in an attic in outer Mongolia not to be seeing the horror every night on TV. Plus there was an active and highly visible anti-war movement.

You also discount the record labels AND Clear Channel(with payola the unspoken god), dictating what gets played on ‘top 40′ popular radio in every hodunk town from coast to coast. Also what gets overplayed like hell on MTV as well(when they remember to actually PLAY music vids). There are some remarkable exceptions to that, but mostly? It’s all manufactured crap.

I’ll be this actually goes back at least as far as the Production Code, and I mean as a deliberate strategy by some. I think they have failed in a way, simply because there is too much quality art out there, even if it doesn’t get channelled through the big pipes much. But on the other hand, so much meaning has been driven underground again.

Note: can’t find a video, but here’s a link to the lyrics at least:

Oh and Eiyuu translates to Hero, roughly in japanese. Which fits the Ultraman Franchise perfectly. *grins* That was from Ultraman Nexus, which ran in 2005 or 2006 i think. They did both openings to the show for that version.

Oh and one new item for the road.

Bush pardons 29, but not Libby

Mostly petty criminals benefited from year-end presidential action, but not the convicted ex-aide to Cheney.

WASHINGTON — President Bush granted pardons Tuesday to carjackers, drug dealers, a moonshiner and a violator of election laws, but not to I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, his vice president’s former top aide, who was convicted in the case of the leaked identity of a CIA operative.

In all, Bush pardoned 29 convicts and reduced the prison sentence of one more in an end-of-the-year presidential tradition.

Justice Department spokesman Erik Ablin said Bush has granted 142 pardons and commuted five sentences since taking office in 2001 — far behind the pace set by most modern presidents.

D:P

Dems were never gonna win the Virginia seat; Ohio was a great hope, but the victory is that the NRCC spent themselves farther into debt to hold the seat. And there’s lessons from the Democrat’s race to bitchslap Rahm with bigtime.

$400,000 of money the GOP is having a hard time raising.

G’nite Suzanne and all remaining pups. Hell to pay later.
Great picks by all pups. Gonna be a tough call pickin winners.
Thanks for the memories. bjnts

Yuppers, Mac it is…and they’ll have to pry that brand out of my cold, dead hands. When they took away the option to choose between Macs and the *other* in our school offices (per-retirement days), I simply put in the extra time to do all lectures/handouts/tests at home. Do.NOT.get.between.me.and.my.Mac! *g*

Epoca, by Gotan Project (YT), in memory of the Disappeared.

MOSH

“Maybe we can reach alqueda through my speech
Let the president answer a higher anarchy
Strap him with an Ak-47, let him go, fight his own war
Let him impress daddy that way
No more blood for oil, we got our own battles to fight on our own soil
No more psychological warfare, to trick us to thinking that we ain’t loyal
If we don’t serve our own country, we’re patronizing a hero
Look in his eyes its all lies
The stars and stripes, they’ve been swiped, washed out and wiped
And replaced with his own face, Mosh now or die”

Land Of Confusion

This is one of my favorites (a remake of the old Genesis song). Animation is by Todd McFarlane.

“I won’t be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We’re not just making promises
That we know we’ll never keep

There’s too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there’s not much love to go round
Can’t you see this is a land of confusion?

Now, this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for”

Beautiful song Margot. I’d forgotten it.

Long Road Out Of Eden

Freeways flickering, cell phones chiming a tune
We’re riding to Utopia; road map says we’ll be arriving soon
Captains of the old order clinging to the reins
Assuring us these aches inside are only growing pains
But it’s a long road out of Eden

When The President Talks To God

The video is from the Jay Leno show in 2005.

When the president talks to God
Are the conversations brief or long?
Does he ask to rape our women’s’ rights
And send poor farm kids off to die?
Does God suggest an oil hike
When the president talks to God?

OHIO

I was in Houston, Texas over the weekend and spoke to some folks about torture and whatnot. They were surprisingly forgiving and finding all kinds of rationalizations. Trouble was, they weren’t from Houston. They were from O H I O.

Our people is sicko and we need to do some learnin’.

For FDL to even TRY and instill linkage to Gilley is an insult to his time on this planet.

I’m, sorry Suz, but FDL ain’t half the blog Gilley was.

It’s become a watered down version of progressive lite, smooshed with a curtain of velvet crush to hide it’s linkages to beltway causes celebre. Sad, too, it held SUCH promise.
