Good Morning Vietnam
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRV5LoOMyBk
"For What It's Worth", is a song written by Stephen Stills, first recorded by Buffalo Springfield on December 5, 1966; it peaked at no. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the spring of 1967. The song is often associated with the Vietnam War because students, "flower children" and other young people often clashed with police at anti-war protests and other demonstrations during the counterculture era.
Any suggestions for protest music out there? Help me compile a list of powerful songs!
Jesse Welles is a good start

Song: Carsie Blanton | Shit List | 2:44

So you want a white nation?
Mass deportation?
Keep the white men rich and
Keep the women in the kitchen?
That ain’t the way we do it no more
That ain’t the way we do it no more
You got away with this shit before
That ain’t the way we gonna do it no more
You say we should go back where we came from
I’m thinkin maybe that you should as well
Put your money where your mealy little mouth is
And go right back to hell

Contemporary Protest Music - Carsie Blanton
Thanks to @MovingTrainMedia for posting a link to this hard hitting tune in another thread pertaining to contemporary protest music.
Had not heard of Carsie Blanton before, but in a music landscape where popular artists seem hesitant to "get political", this New Jersey performer stands out with her searing lyrics and provocative video imagery.
Think you will agree Carsie doesn't pull any punches in Shit List.

Song: The Resistance | We Dissent | 3:41
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpKIT5NQBY8
We dissent — for the dream they sold and broke, For every word the liars spoke.
We dissent — for the truth they twist and bend, We won’t let the story end.
We dissent — for the love of this land, Not their greed, not their command.
We dissent — ‘cause freedom’s not their toy, And we won’t let them destroy.
Song: The Resistance | Call Me Antifa | 3:48
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLo5BgzXWtc
My granddad fought the fascists, halfway ’round the world,
He came home scarred but grateful for the flag still unfurled.
He said freedom isn’t easy, it’s a promise, not a crown,
It’s the courage to stand up when others bow down.
Call me Antifa if it means I fight for love,
For every race and color, under heaven’s light above.
If liberty’s my language, and justice is my plea, Then call me Antifa, that’s all right with me.

Contemporary Protest Music - AI Generated?
In an ongoing effort to report on contemporary protest music, came across this today. Not sure exactly what it is, but seems like a channel dedicated to AI generated protest music. It's from a from a YouTube account named The Resistance: https://www.youtube.com/@TheResistance-2025 comprising over a hundred songs.
You may not admire AI generated stuff, but it is very interesting to see it used in this way, maintaining the anonymity of the creator.
Video: Dropkick Murphys | Who'll Stand With Us? | 5:02
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BRHuiRyVEE&list=RD5BRHuiRyVEE&start_radio=1
Throughout centuries in every country
We’ve faced the wrath and felt the pain
Of the tyrant’s sword or the henchman’s boot
For another rich man’s gain
In the endless quest for wealth and power
They stomp us down with great disdain
...
We’ve been robbed of our freedom
We’ve been held down and beholden
To the bosses and bankers
Who never gave their share
Of any blood
Of any sweat
Of any tears
Who’ll stand with us?

Protest Music For Today
In an ongoing attempt to make some noise, will be linking, boosting and quote-posting contemporary music that is geared to the current struggles for democracy and freedom in the USA.
The Dropkick Murphys stand out today as one of the few popular artists who are unabashedly political and unafraid to speak truth to power.

Add Live Music To No Kings Protests
Would like to make a pitch to the organizers to integrate musical performances into these protests. Whether they are local groups playing the old standbys or popular artists lending their voices, protest music has always been a big part of successful grass roots movements.
Trump’s regime knows they cannot silence us all through investigations, prosecutions, or even the deployment of brutal secret police. They can only attempt to silence dissent through fear. As long as we choose not to give in to fear, we cannot be silenced. Join us to say NO KINGS: https://www.nokings.org/?SQF_SOURCE=indivisible

I understand today is Bandcamp Friday—I had almost forgotten.
I make dreamy political folk songs. 😊 All purchases of the following record will be donated to families in Gaza via Gaza Funds.
