I Protest!!! Vigorously!!!!

  • Pink captures President Bush's callous disregard with heart-rending accuracy. This song makes me cry every time I hear it.
  • Jackson Brown's new song is fabulous! Lives in the Balance truly touches on the choices facing America today.
  • An Arlo Guthrie classic! You'd be amazed at how it fits our modern war ethics.
  • Bruce Hornsby's finest. We are treating the Katrina survivors the same way.
  • 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.
  • This one's by Lindsay Buckingham. All hail the 4th estate!
  • Song by the late, great Harry Chapin. It references Vietman, but remains pithy.
  • By Bright Eyes. One of the best protest songs to come along in years.
  • From the musical, 1776.
    Check it out - the reference may be Revolutionary War era, but the sentiment rocks!

I can see why you'd nominate that post. It's very good and thought provoking. Makes you realize what others have gone through, and thankful for what they have given, in the past.
Sojourner Truth's speech is fantastic!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sojourner Truth's life has had too little attention in this world. and her speech "Ain't I a Woman?" has long been a source of inspiration for me. I hope we all can read her speech and think, "I can be no less courageous in speaking my truth than she was."
