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 Am Spartacus!


As I'm sure you are all aware - Shakespeare's Sister has resigned her affiliation to the John Edwards campaign over numerous and disturbing threats of violence.  Driftglass has come up with the best defense possible - solidarity.  So come and get me oh Roman Empire; for I am Spartacus - and I stand ready to defend my rights!

One of the best moments in cinema, an incredible act of solidarity and loyalty. We stood too.

The Fat Lady Sings

You know - Senator Edwards should never have let it get this far. Had he brushed Donohue off at the onset - the whole magilla would have been a one week wonder. By seeming to give firing both women some thought - then pulling a Donald Trump and "giving them a second chance" - he played right into Donohue's hands. Now we have both women receiving threats of violence. It’s a deplorable situation - just deplorable.
