I thought that the days of protest songs were dead

Lots of protest songs, WWM

I was sent this one yesterday:

Yes I’m beginning to understand that now.

This could turn into another anti Vietnam scenario, people will toe the line until they start getting killed and then the gloves are off.
Trump may have decided to rein in the goons for now but he tends to let things slide and then start over.

Solidarity 💪🏽

This is the one you referred to in case someone else wants to hear it.

A brilliant piece of music and lyrics

Has anyone heard of Jesse Welles?
He's been writing folk protest songs for a while.
I'll look him up...

It seems he's better known than I thought!

Here's one from last year: "Join ICE"

I don’t think that protest songs have ever gone away.

I don’t think that protest songs have ever gone away.

I think you could be right Oreo. Have seen songs sung by Iranian singers on YouTube in protest at the what the Iranian regime have been doing, mainly when a young woman was murdered by the morality police a few years ago, but could be more now.

Go Brucie ✌️💪

You’re not watching YouTube regularly enough Whiewavemark2, there are new ones literally every day on there. Mr Newberger is one I watch. There are also some great Canadian ones. I’ve been following Bruce Springsteen, he always says what he thinks, which I admire him for.

Bruce's song will probably get more airplay but the Jesse Wells one is definitely more rousing, can't believe the crowds in the protest, we haven't seen that on the news here in the UK.

Happy Sunday Birthday WhiteWave 🎊 🥳

Thank you for that Whitewavemark2, I don't listen to current music as much as I should,I'm 76 so I remember all the protest songs, good to know Bruce is still speaking out.

I love this one.
Dan Raza Water reflects what it’s shown

The Boss!! His last tour dates opened with a tirade against Trump. What a furore that caused back home ! You cant have listened to his lyrics all these years without getting an insight into the man. And now he's done it again. GO Bruce. And btw we need another tour asap❤️
