Why can't my songs about trouble be popular? I ask. But people are tired. Sometimes people are tired of thinking of difficult and unpleasant things.
-Miriam Makeba
Andreas from Europe writes:Dear Moistworks folks,
as a reader from Europe I wonder if there has been,
say in the last 12 or 24 months, a song (or songs)
which, in your opinion, said something meaningful
about the war in Iraq and the "war on terror" - we all
know the classic anti-War songs, and, yes, of course,
Neil Young did his (rather uninspiring, unfortunatly)
share, but I sometimes have the feeling that it is a
curious thing that this war is not really really
really a big thing in contemporary music. This war is
different from other wars, and so should the music
"about it". or not ?
We told Andreas that it seemed like the kind of question our readers like to answer, so let him know, in the comments below. In the meanwhile:
