Saturday Night's All Right for Political Music

[Deadwood]

OK, we're a political forum...

So lets try on some music that has a political bent, or at least leans that way.

And, along the way, I think some "distractions" are in order so.....


And now, ladies and gentlemen.....what HAS to be the angriest political tune....

Can't have a political music thread without some Neil Young...

I think this is the best protest song ever.
In context it was during the vietnam war and that's why it seems so anti american....but the vietnam war was such a contrived and wasteful adventure.
The thing that helped STOP THE WAR was ironically ..the draft. Too many americans from all walks of life were losing their sons.

Today, an all volunteer force, the deaths don't touch as many people...and certainly not many corporation heads or politicians children are over there.
EDIT..to their credit, Bidens son and McCains son both went to Iraq
If we went back to a draft and EVERYONE'S son was at risk, these politicians wouldn't be able to throw these lives away like they do now.

It ain't Saturday night anymore, but couldn't resist jumping in here.

Okay now come on, you KNEW this was coming at some point: a classic by Paul Ryan's reportedly favorite band...(:wink::laugh:)...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w211KOQ5BMI

Hey, I have something in common with the man! :wink::wink:

(Music video by Michael Moore, whom I'm sure Mr. Ryan is also a sincere fan of.)

(Oh and that "Trump for President" sign was supposed to be A JOKE! Yeesh, looks like people took that idea WAAAY too seriously 11 years later. ;) )

My favorite line is the one mocking that neo-liberal philosopher who proclaimed the close of the Cold War "the end of history", suggesting that there was no longer a viable alternative to capitalism and so people must now just accept it.
