Music & War

[VRM]

Actually, there is quite a bit in music about the war. So there are the predictable ones like Neil Young, Springsteen, and the Stones who came out with songs recently.

Some others have had hits with songs about war like John Mayer, Eminem, James Blunt (who was a British officer before he wrote his anti-war song), Pearl Jam, and Green Day. Green Day wrote songs like 'American Idiot' about our preznit and his policies. They also wrote 'wake me when September ends', and it is one of the most requested videos on one of theose video channels.

Also, one of my wifes best friends is married to a reasonably well-known hip-hop artist. I'm not a fan of the music, but the lyrics indicate a lot of anger at the current situation regarding the war and our response to 9/11. There are also other lyrics regarding trying to live in the middle of street violence and drugs, dealing with teen pregnancy, and what rights gays should have.
And yes, I've been to hip-hop concerts.

Sizzler - Music, just like media, will sell what is popular. 'The Man' is the public who will buy what is being sold.
