Okay, I gotta do this as a protest song test-case.

Folks here know Tom Paxton writes in every music style.

Is "On The Road to Sri Brinitza" a protest song or simply a statement against the horror of civil war?

What could he accomplish through protest; what thinking person would need to be convinced to oppose the inhuman behaviour described, what stonebrain would be listening to Paxton anyway?

I really would like to know:

Is it appropriate or too powerful for radio?

Does he make a case for keeping armed peacekeepers?

Are you encouraged to support solving the problem by giving each side tons of weapons and hoping the balancing act brings peace? Does it help you just to know about this stuff, regardless? and, if so, is that enough to qualify it as protest?

Should we just forget music compostion labeling?
