Kay Steiger on Beggars Can Be Choosers’ lament on the lack of protest music in today’s climate.

Like Kay, I think BCBC’s rant is a little shortsighted. So, I’ll tack a couple of other artists onto Kay’s nice summary:

• Steve Earle keeps the old school protestin’ torch alight, for sure.
• Immortal Technique might have the most biting lyrics of them all, “cuz Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings.”
• Tom Morello or Bright Eyes, maybe?
• The Rolling Stones even got in on the act as recently as 2005.
• And, uh, Pearl Jam. Duh.
