Songs of protest have always been around. No matter how much the political and cultural landscape has changed, they always seem relevant. I admire the artists that create them and I admire the folks that adhere to them. I admire the cheeky ones as much as the serious ones because they still make a point as do the ones in different languages (these serve to inspire research). I like that people have the ability to put themselves on equal footing and it gives me hope that one day, my children will live in a better world than ours.
