Have any of you guys and gals ever heard and/or checked out Jackson Browne's protest songs (mostly written, recorded, performed, and issued on his albums in the 80s)? If not, and you're interested, check out my website page devoted to them, at:
I think you'll find them thought-provoking and inspirational, not to mention "moving". I wish he'd write protest songs as prolifically these days; but his latest album (last I heard), "The Naked Ride Home", has a great protest song on it called, "Casino Nation", which, if you haven't heard it, is quite good as well, particularly the verse(s), "....Out beyond the ethernet the spectrum spreads, DC to daylight, the cowboy mogul rides. Never worry where the gold for all this glory's gonna come from, get along doggies, it's coming out of your hides...." That song is on my website at the following page:
Also, I've started my own, one and only, group, "Fans of Kurt Nimmo's 'Another Day in the Empire' Blog". Please come on over, check it out, and join if you so desire. Hope to "see" you there, at:
Well, enjoy and if you have any comments or questions to this post, please feel free. Catch you on the flipside. Thank you for this great group! Your fellow-protester/dissident/dissenter/activist/advocate, Wolf

You're welcome, Penny! "....Penny Lane, this my world, this is my life...." :) Glad to find another one of us rare JB fans. I think most people don't like his songs because they think they're depressing and/or they don't want to hear how he tells it like it is. Most people live in a fantasy world that they don't want to have disturbed; and, even if it does include some advocacy, it's usually only environmental causes at best, and most of them avoid the political, except for environmental, wanting to intentionally remain ignorant about what is really going on and our duty(ies) and responsibility(ies) to stand up against it AS WELL AS environmental issues. I think Jackson is probably just barely dealing with facing how insane this world is, now more than ever before, and how things are coming to a "head", and that's why he hasn't written many protest songs of late. Or, perhaps, it's because he would unlikely be able to "top" those great protest songs he has already written, and that there is really no need to. His protest songs are classics to those who are "in the loop". To those who are not, they need to listen to them, and/or read them, very closely.
Thank you again for your words appreciation and recognition for one of the greatest artists, musicians, songwriters, and poets in our generation!
