About

I Protest!!! Vigorously!!!!

  • Dear Mr. President
    Pink captures President Bush's callous disregard with heart-rending accuracy. This song makes me cry every time I hear it.
  • Lives in the Balance
    Jackson Brown's new song is fabulous! Lives in the Balance truly touches on the choices facing America today.
  • Alice's Restaurant
    An Arlo Guthrie classic! You'd be amazed at how it fits our modern war ethics.
  • The Way It Is
    Bruce Hornsby's finest. We are treating the Katrina survivors the same way.
  • Here's to the State of Mississippi
    By Phil Ochs. Not what you'd think. He wrote it following the murder of three civil rights workers in the mid '60's. Still pertinent today, I fear.
  • Murrow Turning Over in his Grave
    This one's by Lindsay Buckingham. All hail the 4th estate!
  • Bummer
    Song by the late, great Harry Chapin. It references Vietman, but remains pithy.
  • When the President Talks to God
    By Bright Eyes. One of the best protest songs to come along in years.
  • Momma, Look Sharp
    From the musical, 1776.
    Check it out - the reference may be Revolutionary War era, but the sentiment rocks!

I can't seem to get it to work. Of course, I am on dial up so it's slow going.

The Fat Lady Sings

I came across that through elgonzi .com (I put up their link on my post). I thought the animation was brilliant - very different - so creative. Considering today's political climate - I can't help but wonder if the artist (from Chile, I believe) was making an anti-war statement. There were elements of religion/theocracy there - blind worship and its destructive power. Add in hypocritical decadence (the man with the two women in the hot-tub), and an industrial complex gone bad - and you have a political situation not exclusive to the United States. Chile is also going through a great deal of upheaval these days as well. Pretty cool graphics - wouldn't you say? If I were a musician looking to come up with the next hot video - I'd hire this animator in a heartbeat! Hell - from a director’s point of view - I could blend this animator’s style in with almost any genre from jazz to rap; not to mention what I could do mixing media. Hello Eminem!
