    This dang place is just tooooooo negative and divisive ... sometimes even nasty. How about posting some of the protest songs you recall from the last 60-70 years? I'll start with one of my favorites. Unfortunately, Les McCann passed on 12/29/23. :(

    I’ve watched that video probably 100 times since discovering it last year. Love it!

    A little before our time but when I was a kid I used to love to sit in my grandmothers parlor and listen to Billy Murray WW1 songs on her old wind up Edison phonograph.
