Day 5: A protest song

"...I flew the final mission in the Japanese skies
Set off the mighty mushroom roar
When I saw the cities burning
I knew that I was learning
That I ain't marching anymore"

Day 5: A protest song
Reposting from last week in the "What Made You Cry Today" thread. Not exactly a protest song, per se, but a perseverance song. Went to a Guster concert at the Kennedy Center last week where they brought out cast members of "Finn: The Musical," a show that was abruptly cancelled when the new administration took over the Kennedy Center board. This song brought down the house and more than a few tears were shed. In that place, in that moment, it was definitely a protest. And more power to them.

"Hard Times" - Guster

I adore Sam Phillips. When I first started watching Gilmore girls, I was so happy to hear one of Sam's songs, I DMed you. Then again with the next, and the third. It was about three episodes in where I caught she was doing the music for all of the show...*blush*

Day 5: A protest song

Adia Victoria's "South Gotta Change" is both a protest song, and a statement of purpose.

"You've told a lie for so long
You're a stranger to yourself
You're all dressed up in make-believe
To be somebody else
So listen closely when I sing
That the truth would set you free"

The thing that makes Adia's song so powerful is that it is rooted in love. The South is her home. It can be better. It has to be better, to let go the myths and lies and Lost Cause bullshit that is being reinforced from up north right now.

"'Cause I love you, I won't leave you
Won't let you slip away
Come what may
We're gonna find a way
The South gotta change"

T-Bone Burnett, raised a Southerner himself (and husband of Sam Phillips, apropos of nothing) had moved away for decades, to a place where "just going to the grocery store and the dry cleaners in L.A., you deal with 15 different ethnicities, and everybody’s peaceful, everybody’s respectful." He had thought the South had learned those lessons. Moving back to Nashville, he found nothing had changed, that the myth of white supremacy was still as strong and rancid. So in an era when so many white people claim to be "allies," he chose to ally for with Adia for real, and acted as executive producer, helped with the distribution on his channels, and provides a beautiful, burning guitar solo to support this vision.

"South Gotta Change," Adia Victoria

Seeing as how I must now go to sleep and then wake up in about 6 hours to work my first Sunday shift in years.. I'm gonna blast something with a lot of energy on the drive along with a triple dose of caffeine. Although caffeine is why I'm still awake at this rdiculous hour
So.. Fuel - Metallica
