Protest Music

I remember how excited I was when Bill Clinton won the presidency for the first time. I was young and optimistic (and from Arkansas) and convinced that he could change the world. He didn't, really, except maybe to drag the media even deeper into the muck than it already was.

I'm glad the Democrats are in control of at least one branch of government again, but I'm not nearly as ecstatic as I was back in the Clinton era. These days, the only thing the government seems to want to do is enrich itself.

Mostly I'm inspired at the thought of gridlock. And that's not really something to be inspired by.

Radiohead - Gloaming

Steve Earle - Conspiracy Theory

M.I.A. - Pop
