Comment:

So this is my "stealth-rebellion" mix, filled with protest-y type songs that I can play at work without annoying people too, too much. If the music is too loud or otherwise they start whining and I have to change things. I wanted to include some tracks that weren't as much part of the typical anti-war protest songbook hence the Dead Milkmen, The Bukowski Poems, Southern Culture, The Patti Smith cover of Prince, etc. I know the Creedence and the Hendrix songs are already "overused" and I ran a little heavy on the Clash songs, but I wanted to strike a balance for the folks at work who have never even heard a Clash song before (the horror!) and who also consider Bob Dylan's Blowing in the Wind the beginning and end of all protest rock. Arf. If anyone has a good french-fry picture that also is on the protesty side let me know as I'm looking for cover-art. One last thing, like the Dixie Chicks (whom I'm having an ever-increasing amount of respect for) I too am embarrassed that Georgie W. is from Texas (or at least squatted there).
