Here's a NY Times review of Neil Young's Living with War
The songs on "Living With War" are straightforward and single-minded, setting aside the allusive, enigmatic quality of Mr. Young's rock classics. "These are all ideas we've heard before," he said. "There's nothing new in there. I just connected the dots."I will say that my favorite folk-rock protest song is most likely "For What It's Worth," written by Stephen Stills of then-Buffalo Springfield. Currently, he is a member of CSN and the every-so-often CSNY.
The protest song, rocked-up slightly from its folky 1960's form, has been making a comeback during the Iraq war, from arena bands like Pearl Jam, the Rolling Stones and Green Day to indie-rockers like Bright Eyes and blues-rockers like Keb' Mo' and Robert Cray. Bruce Springsteen's latest album is a tribute to the protest-song mentor Pete Seeger, although it features old folk songs rather than Mr. Seeger's topical material.
Though I am linking to an article written by a conservative, it's free advertising for some CDs you should consider buying if protest music is your cup of tea.
So will the jogging Senators be rivals with each other in a few years? I tend to hope not but you never say never.
