Thread Name: your favorite major protest songwriter?
Subject: RE: your favorite major protest songwriter?
I can't stand to listen to "Oldies" stations anymore. Their playlist is always only 2 songs away from "Un-#@%%^&-chained Melody" a mediocre song before the mediocre 15yr old movie re-popularized it (and as a guy who makes his living with his hands in clay, I can tell you that Demi Moore and Patrick Swayzee better have gotten into the SHOWER BEFORE THEY GOT IN BED 'cause clay is not yer dream lubricant if you get my drift) and when they're not playing "Unchained", the only other song on the playlist is "Old Time Rock and Roll" (From another mediocre movie). Now I LIKE Bob Seeger's music, and the Righteous Bros...well I LIKE Bob Seeger's music--But every time I tune in?????

Anyway, the rant merely to introduce that I was shocked to tune in and hear "Fortunate Son" Fogarty & the gang sure made some great music! (Always wonder whether they'd be popular if introduced today--or would they have to put on cowboy hats and be classified as "country"?)
