I agree with Adam regarding the importance of the folksong in the coming years. Remember the protest songs during the Vietnam war, those of you old enough to remember the 1960's and 70's? Protest songs don't just happen, they need a critical mass to become mainstream. Bush is just the sort to generate those songs, with his world view and choice of henchmen. The people who were opposed to Clinton when he was in office wouldn't have had much luck with protest songs--they may have disliked the man, but the stable economic conditions and the general lack of war kept critics down to a low simmer. What Bush is brewing is different, goes deeper, and will bring out the musical pundits. Heck, it might even bring Tom Lehrer out of retirement. Now wouldn't those be songs to hear! (I hope I'm not misspeaking--last I heard, he was still alive!)
