The lesson here might be: don’t do something so heinous and evil that Bruce Springsteen spends his Saturday writing a song about it, his Sunday recording that song, and his free time giving free concerts explaining how badly you screwed up.
There’s a long history of protests songs, and an art to them.
They can’t be too on-the-nose, hitting the audience on the head with the message. But they can’t be so poetic and obscure that people don’t know what you’re really singing about. A tough balance.
Here are the other nine, and I’m not counting down to the best one. They’re all good.
Number 9
Number 8
Number 7
Number 6
Number 5
Number 4
Number 3
Number 2
Number 1
Thank you so much for this.
