I realize i may be veering on the edge of off topic with two recent posts-but aren't lyrics speech set to music?
With that in mind-where are all the protest and anti war songs?
Is everybody "too cool" today?Is everybody no longer interested in the difficult art of writing and singing poignant songs about things that really are life and death-not a "broken heart"or other minor problems.
Dylan's Masters of War is great-but getting old."AND THE BAND" has been called the greatest anti-war song ever.Still-it's world war 2.
