Protest Songs.

I have never been into 'protest songs'.
I love music, but it's the song and the performance for me, not what the singer is singing. Lyrics, in general are just words that sometimes rhyme, sometimes funny, sometimes cringeworthy.

I have more affection for pointless lyrics than determined ones - Give me 6000 Crazy by Spizzoil as much as Anarchy In The UK. Smash The State! - Yeah, whatever. What is the noise and attitude of the Drums, bass, and guitars? That IS important. Ooo Ooo Baby I Love You. Yeah, whatever. I don't generally listen to the twaddle the vocalist is singing, It doesn't matter.

Stuff like HMHB are fantastic, I will listen to the vocals on every track but they are an exception.

Protest Songs? Yeah, whatever.

But I did discover this track (below) a few years back and was really impressed. I listened. I took it in. I felt it.

I don't know if anyone here knows of Folk singer Dick Gaughan and a lot of people don't 'get' folk music, but I think this is stunning. A Protest Song?
