Yeah it was pretty cool

How about Steve Earle’s “TheRevoluiton Starts Now”, and another great one from Rodney Crowell, a song called “Don’t Get Me STarted”. Check it out!

The American Dream
Words and Music by
Michael de Martino

I was born in America
The land of the brave, the free
I was told of the American dream
Where everyone’s supposed to be free
I was born in America
The land of the guiding light
I never dreamed that the dream’d be taken
Away from me
But somebody’s done it
Somebody went and stole the American dream.

If you’re born in America
You better get ready to fight
The time of peace is beyond us now
America’s flexing its might
I was born in America
The land of the brave, the free
I never dreamed that the dream’d be taken
Away from me
But somebody’s done it
Somebody went and stole the American dream.

Well the soldiers are marching
The countries at war
All our troops have been dying, cause there armor’s so poor
Yeah, This is a country where you’re supposed to be free
But someone’s been lying to you
They’ve been lying to me

Somebody went and stole the American
Somebody went and stole the American
Somebody went and stole the American dream
The American dream
The dream
The American dream

“Hail to the Thief”

what the hell did you think that was about?

As a mother and graduate from U. of Michigan in the late sixties I wish the young generation could be exposed to the ‘classics’ we were - Dylan’s songs, Beetles’-  Revolution, Imagine, Let It Be, Cat Steven’s -  Peace Train, etc.  I am so upset that the media ‘spews’ out the ‘vomit’ of violence and degradation of women to enslave young minds in their FIRST SEAL just to make the ALMIGHTY ‘buck’!!!

Pink’s song to the president is very appropriate - especially the refrain about “hard work”.  Great song, perfect timing…

There’s a guitar player/vocalist/songwriter who goes by the name Wino - he’s a long time cult figure within the underground “stoner” metal niche, which borrows from the early Black Sabbath formula. His prior band, Spirit Caravan, was mostly comprised of material warning against what was coming, and some direct anti-Bushco tunes, “Dove-Tongued Aggressor,” and “Brainwashed.”

They disbanded and he quickly formed The Hidden Hand, which is completely about railing against all things New World Order and Bushco, and in their debut lp, “Divine Propaganda,” included a list of must-read books with titles ranging from the spot-on Greg Palast, to the ‘far out’ David Icke. They even had anti-Bushco gizmos at their live shows.

Their sophomore effort, “Mother Teacher Destroyer,” is their best material so far, with titles such as “Travesty As Usual” and “The De-Programming Of Tom Delay.” Very old school slow to mid-paced heavy music, smart and soulfull. Think a Sabbath-ish, mystical version of the 80s iconoclastic Dead Kennedy’s.

topplebush.com has dozens of antiwar songs listed alphabetically in its special projects section.

ahem, “Just Got Back (from Iraq and Nam)”, my song, is under ‘J’.

it’s an interesting site, with action alerts and NYT columnists in toto.

Alongside the traditional “protest” songs are a bevy of brilliant protest “sound poems” by composers. Such a one is David Hahn’s APOCALYPSE COW available here:

I’m a songwriter and although my reach has been a mere 60,000-80,000 hits per month, “Bushwhacked” was downloaded more than 2500 times in April.

I cannot be the only person who listened to Prince’s Cinnamon Girl & Dear Mr. Man along with the brillant “Mosh” by Eminem in the early days of the Iraq war. How quickly we forget and please check these megastars offerings out.
