(Jerry R Jan 2 3:14: one could say that blues says the same thing. *G*)

I think it's important to note that in our own communities people are writing and singing and recording protest songs. In Juneau, Alaska, a number of people are known for it- in addition to their other songs. I'm thinking specifically of Buddy Tabor and of Pat Henry. Songs like 'Mr.Basketball Shoes', and 'Get Stuffed'and lots more.

AlaskaMike, I know you're a prolific writer- do you do protest songs?

It would be interesting to read - and hear- the lyrics that Mudcatters are writing.
