Ice T, Macklemore, Rage, and Greenday are making musical truth to power these days. I wonder if the media stations are muting their message.

LOVE this song, its lyrics.
Still up to date.
Great video. Just timeless

Just after Trump was first elected Roger Waters went to Mexico and did this.
The last few minutes is way more impactful than any dem politician has manged to date.

Roger Waters is an unapologetic antisemite and Putin apologist.

He is very fucked up, I agree.
Probably as narcissistic as Trump.
And he is no friend of Ukraine.

I remember this video. It was very controversial because it was obviously the Reagans.

Back when MTV had actual music videos, LOL. Those were the days!

Saul Williams, (winner of multiple poetry slams) has been making music to support his poetry habit for about 20+ years. Brilliant wordsmith & Activist.

I spent hours watching MTV, blank VHS tape at the ready in my parents’ VCR, trying to record this video. It was my mixtape Moby Dick.

The last good video I can think of immediately is RATM Sleep Now In The Fire.

Good parody was made by Electric six

Yes. I remember it.

It was made by the people who did the BBC show Spitting Image, which was contemporary. Genesis hired them to do it.

Well, now I'll have to go look up the show! Sounds awesome.

Spitting Image in the 80’s was the highlight of my Sunday nights as a teenager.
About the only dissent to Thatcher in the media ( we only had 4 tv channels then).
The recent reboot wasn’t very good.

Correct. And they were damned pretty good 😉

Funny, I posted this same video here, last month.

It's timeless and it has never been more pertinent than right now.

Excellent. 👍

Macklemore - has a new one. “Fucked up” I believe it’s called. On YouTube
