Politics and Music

@jssmith While I pay little attention to lyrics, they do seem to have an effect on some people. The young and undeveloped seem particularly susceptible to musical propaganda.

This once happened to me in my youth with songs that were backmasked.

In hindsight it wasn’t so much the music that was the source of the propoganda but those who promoted the fine time-wasting art of backmasking.

Green Day....AMERICAN IDIOT......Great song!

With your opinion you will educate us on what he Trump did to be called a traitor ?

Uhhh....................how about a very blatant, visible, attempted coup to steal the election and thwart the will of We, The People because his ego is so incredibly fragile his tiny mind absolutely cannot countenance even the THOUGHT of losing?  Something never before attempted in the history of the USA, btw.  Are you seriously asking the question now, after the mountain evidence that has been dropped on your head?  Firsthand testimony - not by liberal democrats, or Nancy Pelosi, or Bernie Sanders or AOC - but by right wing members of his OWN administration?  Even that crackpot Eastman admitted he knew it was illegal.  If Michael Luttig's testimony didn't open your eyes, you're hopeless.  All due respect.

That said..............

I can't believe Gil-Scot Heron hasn't been mentioned.

CrustyCoot, Well said. I share your observations on 60's counterculture and the fact that there was an equal and opposing view very active at the time. That view did not cause the outrage that was covered by the press. Nor did that view create coverage and or documentaries like Woodstock.....mainly because they couldn't.
