Thread Name: No protest songs anymore?
Subject: RE: No protest songs anymore?
There are loads of great protest songs being written and performed by folk singers. Guess what? You ain't gonna hear 'em on your radio or your TV, cos the money machine won't market them...with some very rare exceptions.

Now there's something to protest about, by golly, but they won't air it if you do.

"I beee-leeeeeeeve that my heaaaaaartttt will go onnnnnn"

Yeah. Peel me another synthetic grape, Beulah...

Ching! $85 million more dollars in the kitty! And not one of 'em has a gram of real gold behind it.
