Sat, 1 September 2007 I have tried to stay away from politics on this blog. I like to find lighter things to speak of but with my brother about to be deployed to Iraq sometime in the next few months I seem to be thinking about heavier things lately. So I compiled this podcast with songs that have a message about either war or revolution. I have no real political statement to make but I do feel that we have to take a hard look at what we are doing in the Middle East and why we are there. So here are songs that make a statement and ask questions about America's place in the world. Tracklisting 1. Husker Du -- Makes No Sense At All 2. Billy Bragg -- Price Of Oil 3. Pearl Jam -- Army Reserve 4. Micheal Franti and Spearhead -- Yell Fire! 5. REM -- Orange Crush 6. Rage Against The Machine -- Killing In The Name Of (Live) 7. Son Volt -- Jet Pilot 8. Warren Zevon -- The Envoy 9. Joe Strummer -- Redemption Song Comments[1] |
