Anti-War Music!!!

Edited on Tue Jun-20-06 08:25 AM by OneAngryDemocrat

Picture this scenario...

You are sprawled out in the middle of your living room floor, surrounded by colored pens, markers, glue, and poster board, busily putting together your latest protest sign.

To get yourself into your, ''I am going to single-handedly end the War in Iraq with this as-of-yet-unfinished protest sign'' mood, you turn on the radio for inspiration, and hear...

BRITNEY SPEARS?!?!?!

No more, friends!!!

Go to www.shockedandawful.com/Tunes.html

1. Oooooooo. You added the Dixie Chick's Letterman performance!

Good on you. I sent a link to my friends a week or two ago & got back a lot of positive responses. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

What's up with the Robert Cray video of "Twenty?" Is it a permissions thingie?

2. sort of...

Videos are kind of easy to put up - but I'm really looking for downloadable mp3s, and that is a permissions thingy.

5. I am...

I am familiar with the song... very.

But unless Robert wants to make the song more accessable, it has to stay on his website.

4. They've got some but not others.

Kris Krisoffersen's latest - In the News isn't on there yet. That's on his latest CD - This Old Road.

John Cougar Mellencamp's track "To Washington" is a re-hash of Charlie Poole's Whitehouse Blues from the late '20s. I've no doubt Charlie would be amused - he ripped off Hestitation Blues, amongst numerous others, and called it If The River Was Whisky. :)

This good as well- all seven minutes of it :

7. 1000's of MP3's

This collection was started three years ago...

Mellencamp is on there, but this is my current favorite...

9. another one

Here's one of my favorites that sums up the Military Industrial Complex and exactly what is going on in this country...

Where do arms dealers go when the nations are in peace?
In search of enemies...

8. Welcome

I agree, Pink's song ("Dear Mr. President") is very good.

"You don't know nothin' 'bout hard work!" YEAH!

10. Another good one

I just started listening to
Metric's "Monster Hospital"
"I fought the war, I fought the war but the war won't stop for the love of god, I fought the war, I fought the war but the war won."
Don't let the war WIN!!!!

12. You're Right...

Edited on Tue Jun-20-06 06:05 PM by OneAngryDemocrat

Any mp3 files?

Additionally, wasn't there an anti-war mash-up of GreenDay's 'American Idiot' that had legal action taken against it by the band's record company? Any info on that?
