Quicksilver Messenger Service--What About Me;
Dave Mason--Shouldn’t Have Took More Than You Gave;
L7 – Wargasm
My favorite anti-war song. “Wave your flags high in the air / As long as long as it takes place over there.” (Warninng: the lyrics are appropriately explicit.)

The Clash — Know Your Rights
Eric Burden. We’ve got to get out of this place. Sitting in a car on the way to work……
Foodchain–one of the best shows I ever went to — Eric Burdon at Tulagi’s in Boulder back in the 70s. Tiny club, we were in the first row and he was practically in my lap. I had a crush on him.

The Who -- Silas Stingy
Is Silas one of the greedy 1%, or is he just an old guy clinging to what he has left because he’s run out of options?
Wow, nice pull on this one, JJ!

Thanks, Adlib. I’ve been feeling like Mingy Stingy a lot lately.

Not quite your traditional protest song, but I think it qualifies. When I was a teen in the mid 70′s, I played this almost every day, Black Sabbath “War Pigs”, this is live, it’s fun to see young Ozzy make up some lyrics as he goes along
