I would like to share with you one of the coolest things I have ever discovered on the web...

Neil Young has a page on his website where he posts anti-war songs. It's up to 700 songs so far. There are a few names you might recognize in there like Steve Earle anmd Robbie Robertson, but the vast majority are by people you have never heard of. Ordinary blue collar artists with day jobs who submitted their best protest songs to Neil for review.

It's a mixed bag. Different "players," different formats, different styles. Some of these songs are truly great and will blow your mind away. I could recommend some of my favorites, but it would be better for you to sample some at random, like I did, and discover your own. With 700 entries you can't possibly listen to them all...

And if you have recorded an anti-war song of your own-- submit it!! You'll be part of the greatest anti-war song forum on the web.

I can't say enough good things about this except, "click here:"

Fantastic site, Archie!! I was singing along to some of the songs and felt like I was in a "sit in".."love fest" with tears in my eyes...listening to Bill Laing, "A Christmas Wish From Iraq"..oh my, and does he ever have the voice of Neil!!

I will be back often to listen to more of these songs..

... I'd better had been warned about the explicit nature of it... At breakfast time, it made me vomit my stomach when tearing off my eyes... Thanks.

Anne Feeney sings "Have You Been to Jail for Justice?" with Jon Fromer, Janet Stecher and Susan Lewis

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWRe09pfG3k

Was it Cesar Chavez or Rosa Parks that day?
Some say Dr. King or Ghandi
Set them on their way
No matter who your mentors are
It's pretty plain to see
That if you've been to jail for justice
You're in good company

Have you been to jail for justice?
I want to shake your hand
'Cause sitting in and laying down
Are ways to take a stand
Have you sung a song for freedom
Or marched that picket line?
Have you been to jail for justice?
Then you're a friend of mine

You law abiding citizens
Come listen to this song
Laws are made by people
And people can be wrong
Once unions were against the law
But slavery was fine
Women were denied the vote
While children worked the mine
The more you study history
The less you can deny it
A rotten law stays on the books
'til folks with guts defy it!

Have you been to jail for justice?
I want to shake your hand
'Cause sitting in and laying down
Are ways to take a stand
Have you sung a song for freedom
Or marched that picket line?
Have you been to jail for justice?
Then you're a friend of mine

Well the law is supposed to serve us
And so are the police
When the system fails
It's up to us to speak our piece
We must be ever vigilant
For justice to prevail
So get courage from your convictions
Let 'em haul you off to jail!

Have you been to jail for justice?
I want to shake your hand
'Cause sitting in and laying down
Are ways to take a stand
Have you sung a song for freedom
Or marched that picket line?
Have you been to jail for justice?
Then you're a friend of mine
Have you been to jail for justice
Have you been to jail for justice
Have you been to jail for justice
Then you're a friend of mine

I've always liked Patti Smith.  It's gratifying to see that she is speaking out.   (It's hard to believe she's 60 years old!)

"I feel responsible as an American citizen," Smith told the Associated Press in a telephone interview from New York. "It's a terrible injustice and I think it will be a stain upon us when history examines this period."
