Try Billy Bragg and Johnny Cash on for size.Speaking of, those who use MP3 file sharing programs, try seeking out a live version of Billy Bragg's Ideology. A really great performance.
Why would American Pie be considered a protest song? What is it protesting?I believe Don MacLean was "protesting" rock music's loss of innocence; rock music was becoming much more suggestive and "in your face" as opposed to the idealized love of the early rock era. That's my interpretation of it. I'm open to other viewpoints.
