Okay, here’s another great one:

Sinead O’Connor, with the Chieftains, singing “The Foggy Dew.”

The raw emotion in her keening style speaks volumes, let alone the poetry of the song.

My favorite protest song is “Conversation with the Devil” by Ray Wylie Hubbard.

I think this one is right to the point and hasn’t been listed yet (in either thread as far as I could see from searching):

Credence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X90T5sY5c2o

Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
Ooh, they’re red, white and blue.
And when the band plays “Hail to the chief”,
they point the cannon right at you.
It ain’t me, it ain’t me. I ain’t no senator’s son.
It ain’t me,it ain’t me.I ain’t no fortunate one.

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord don’t they help themselves.
But when the tax man comes to the door,
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale.
It ain’t me, it ain’t me. I ain’t no millionaire’s son.
It ain’t me, it ain’t me. I ain’t no fortunate one.

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war.
And when you ask them,
“How much should we give?”
They only answer “More! More! More!”
It ain’t me, it ain’t me. I ain’t no military son.
It ain’t me, it ain’t me. I ain’t no fortunate one.
It ain’t me, it ain’t me. I ain’t no Fortunate Son.

Has anyone mentioned “When the President Talks to God” ( http://www.plyrics.com/lyrics/.....togod.html )by Bright Eyes? Also, Arcade Fire’s “Antichrist Television Blues,” ( http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics.....blues.html ) while not a protest song, is reminicent of Dylan in how it explores the darker side of our culture and it gives me the creeps.

Thanks, egregious, it’s good to see you too! I’ve not been feeling too well lately, times are rough right now. I’m hanging in, though, and try to at least read here when I can. Hope you are well!

And I hate to just say that much and run, but in 20 minutes I have to get on a “web conference” for work, and I gotta get ready with a powerful cup of java at hand.

So, I’ll look back here later.

Smooches and hugs to you, and to all Firepupsters ’round the Lake!
