How we protest:
Phil Ochs – I Ain’t Marchin’ Anymore
Damn, we need him now!
Buffy Sainte-Marie – Universal Soldier
Old but still true – I Didn’t Raise My Boy To Be A Soldier
Tom Paxton – I Am Changing My Name To Fannie Mae
Pete Seeger – Waist Deep in the Big Muddy
The Fugs – Kill For Peace
Richard Meyer – North Country Blues
Dylan can’t sing and Joan overpowers it – this is about right.

I find it very hard to post on this page and to get to the bottom here, to add. So I want to add these two songs and hopefully will come back later with links
Buffy Ste Marie, who I still adore, Michael, “Choke on Your Blue White and Scarlet Hypocrisy
Phil Ochs -Might As Well Do It While I’m Here
I love a lot of the songs on this list and are my favorites too
Thanks all, great post and welcome relief and inspiration
There’s a later thread, Saturday Jukebox II – Reasons to Protest, that has fewer videos in it, which loads more quickly.
Nina Simone – live – Mississippi Goddam http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4ZyuULy9zs
(The link is for Billie Holiday – was this what you were going for, Sheila)?
Billie Holiday live Strange Fruit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4ZyuULy9zs
Here are my random videos:

And since Roger Waters has been using his The Wall tours to promote human rights, we should include one of his:

Struck a chord this week, didn’t we? 🙂
Here’s another:
Country Joe & The Fish:
Is everyone allowed 14 random videos per post or something? Sheesh. There is no bandwidth left for anyone else!
Well, whatever; it left this old man in tears for the things we’ve lost…
It’s apparent some things never change…
RAGE Against the Machine
We can’t make it here anymore
and even the Jordan River has bodies floatin’ … hate your next door neighbor, but don’t forget to say grace
Better recording than the one I heard. This was the start of it (an Irishman, naturally) – banned from a lot of stations originally.
“Kill for Peace” – fine work! Buffy St. Marie…I used to have a crush on her;)
