hmmm - protest songs never made a difference Clinton? I beg to differ! The U.S. no longer drafts young men. Birth control is now widespread and abortion is available. Women have careers.
single mothers are not sinners. Segregation is against the law. Not bad for one generation!

Perhaps the messages have changed. Maybe we need songs for the environment. Maybe we need music for veiled women. Maybe we need a voice to cry for starving children, aids victims and endangered animals.

As a Canadian (born in the U.S.A) I am amazed that you give Bush so much power. Fingerprinting the innocent? Racial profiling? Please grab a brain! I thought my family participated in three generations of war so that you could be free! That means personal freedom and privacy too! "You don't know what you've got til its gone"

At least the rappers express their anger and hostility thats been born of a culture of opposition. Whats left of the U.S. is appalling. You have to have a critical consciousness to be able to protest. Unfortunately, the uneducated masses are only too happy to buy the biscuit and content themselves with a commercial world.

Maybe if we all take a week off work and do nothing but sing and dance, the politicians will get the message. They have no power but that which we give them. Maybe its time to take it back.
