We need songs.
Advertisements [?]
My late husband was Irish and I recently was listening to his CDs of Irish music. It was too painful to do so before. One of the CDs was of Irish rebel songs, which you will find sung in any pub that the Irish gather at anywhere in the world today. It struck me that we had the anti-war protest songs during the counter revolution of the sixties. Remember them? We need songs about health care reform, about unemployment about corrupt government, yes about wars for profit and everything bad going on today. We need to sing them at our protests and our rallys. Recording artists need to put out CDs that can be played in juke boxes across the nation like in the sixties. It's a way of getting the message out that the MSM and corporations are trying to stop. Nothing energizes a crowd like a good song that distills our grievances and woes into poetry set to music. Even the Nazis fired up the crowds in the torchlight parades with patriotic, military songs that they sang through the streets. It will have the effect of scaring the crap out of the opposition who are trying to turn America into a casino you can't refuse to participate in and one where you know the house always wins.
