I tend to believe different, I believe it's just evolving, and staying current. Prime example is what we've been doing over here... Check out Kryptik - V.I.P ft. Crooked I. Just google it, I don't wanna spam a link. against night People say that rap is a dead form. I tend to believe different, I believe it’s just evolving, and staying current.

The title song of his CD, "Busy Makin' Money" offers a good encapsulation of the Iraq tragedy. It is really all about the money, isn't it? The protest ranges from the war to consumerism and there are a few pretty good huorous lyrics, too. (Looser.com and I.T. Blues). The lyrics on "Aint No Water" and "War Machine" are also very hard hitting. Accompaniment is solid accoustic. Burl Sheldon has some strong new protest songs, worth checking out at his website

These songs should be better known. I wish I'd written "I'm a better anarchist than you"; it expresses my feelings almost perfectly. The link between Aunt Molly Jackson/IWW and the 60s folk protest music never made it into my American history education. Thanks so much. Terrific show on KPFK!!! These songs should be better known.
