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.
