Well it's a good song and it makes a good point.
Trouble is, it's not strictly true. Good songs 'are' being written about our way of life and of newsworthy events.
The 'real problem' is that the good songs are not being heard. Take a look at Aine's song pages. The songs are there. But how many of them have you heard anywhere else but here?

Get in touch with your local Radio/TV/Newspaper/Music Store and tell THEM the kind of music you want to hear and tell them where to find it.
