Great videos! You captured a theme here for sure. I love "War" its simple lyrics and beat are so powerful you can FEEL the song. I mentioned it today on my blog in a Bruce thing I did (he does it justice in concert but no one does it like Edwin Starr)
Very nice collection you have here. Even incorporating the great Phil Ochs. I'm trying to think of my favorite protest song right now but there are so many choices. "Fortunate Son" would probably be competing for first though.
Wow, seeing Mike Dean just made my day.
the protesting IS patriotism line is right on
