Protest Music |
Protest MusicProtest and topical music including comedy. We're interested in the history of protest music, for instance labor songs, civil rights songs, anti war songs. We also feature contemporary protest music and we particularly want to hear your protest songs.
This is an open group. Please join and post your diaries. If you want to help manage the group message me and I'll make you a BlogEditor.
Of course Protest Music is on topic. But it doesn't have to be both. Protest or Music. Protest is on topic. Music is on topic.

Unconquered
Captain Of My SoulOut of the night that covers me,
Dark as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeoning's of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
By William Ernest Henley (1849–1903)

Yawn you f**king idiots
I try not to go around picking fights or calling people names but sometimes you just have to call a war criminal a war criminal, a repressive regime a repressive regime or a fucking idiot a fucking idiot.
If you think massive, intrusive government surveillance is not a big fucking deal here in the 'land of the free,' you are a major bonehead. It flies in the face of everything we have stood for as a people for over two-hundred years.
I've seen all the mindless ones running around saying, "why so shocked, we've known this for a long time?" or, even more in the way of lacking awareness, "if you have nothing to hide, why should you care?"

a double musical anniversary
of two of the greatest rock hits of all time, one in 1965 - what some consider the greatest pure rock hit of all - and in 1984 - a seminal work from someone whose music expresses America.
Both artists are still, 48 and 29 years later, still performing.
Listen and enjoy.
Peace,
I'm a Jackrabbit Baby! I've Been Known to Jump and Jive
NOTE I: The title comes from a song I once wrote even though I am a musical illiterate. Jackrabbit is prison guard vernacular for a convict who is considered to be an escape risk.
NOTE II: This is more 1st draft material from my memoir in progress, The Secret History of My Foolish Heart. As with most any 1st draft material there are bound to be errors and missteps. If you spot anything particularly boneheaded, please let me know. Corrections and critiques are welcome.

For context, I once did time in Alabama as a guest of the State circa 1971-'78. It left me with a life-long passion for prison reform and a thirst for justice and fairness.

Remember the Forgotten Man?
A city sidewalk in a ratty side of town. A guy in a shabby suit slouches near a lampost. When another man strides briskly by and tosses aside used cigarette, the guy lunges to recover the butt before it goes out. A tough-looking bottle-blonde observes this and saunters over to the guy. She pulls out a cigarette of her own and beckons him to let her light it off his fag. He does so, and then she takes the cigarette out of his mouth and gives him his own.
A small act of kindness to a guy who's down and out. Why would a jaded, cynical gal like that do something like that for a complete stranger?
Because he reminds her of her Forgotten Man.
