Anger

The 1960’s was a great era of protest music. People were trying to stop the Vietnam War, civil rights had taken center stage, and many other ills of society were highlighted in some of the great songs from the 1960’s. We haven’t seen protest music like that since the 1970’s.

Until now. This year has been polarizing, which leads to anger, and the result is a set of new protest songs. I think it was the release of the new Bob Mould album that made me wonder what other protest songs had been released this year., so I googled protest songs 2020 and got some lists. I was (mildly) surprised to see how many of these I had already purchased, and put together this protest podcast. We’re talking about anger against people in charge, a woman’s right to choose, and the systemic racism that remains in America today.

Let’s stick it to the man and protest along with Drive-By-Truckers, Jason Isbell, Amanda Shires, Ronnie Earl, Robert Cray, Brittany Howard, Run the Jewels, Bob Mould, Childish Gambino, the Killers, Sinead O’Connor, Lucinda Williams, and Dave Douglas.

This podcast is, as always, available to stream or download at brennick.net. There should be more content there, and I will try to put more things up this year. The podcast is also available to download as a podcast at your favorite podcast streamer – iTunes, Stitcher, etc. The podcast is called brennick.net. Check that out sometime. I welcome suggestions and comments, too – leave them as you will. Thanks for everything you do to encourage me.
