I recently went to a concert where I heard a chap called Dave Rovics play.
Thought I should share with those of you interested in political songwriters.:music:
It may not be everyones cup of tea but Andy Kershaw of BBC Radio 3 says:
“David Rovics is a guy George W. Bush would probably like to clamp in chains at Guantanamo Bay — the last American protest singer (or so it seems)… In these days of ongoing neo-conservatism he carries the torch of dissent and protest — in fact if the great Phil Ochs were to come back from the dead tonight he’d probably be hailed as the new David Rovics.”
If anyone is interested Dave’s site is:
