Best social protest bands?

Wow you are really harsh on the Irish-Americans.

US foreign policy - that's the government and the oligarchy, the rich businessmen, who run America.

To me Joseph Kennedy is a was hero in his own right. I never found fault with Robert Kennedy, he was gun down in cold blood. OK JFK had some faults but I can't say that he caused the Viet Nam personally; I can't find the slightest bit of fault except for not stand up firmly standing against the planned assignation of Ngo Dihn Diem, I can't say I blame him for the Veit Nam War, the wheels were turning long before he became president and I don't see why JFK is blamed and not France.

I thought The name of the Read Kennedy was something glib, taboo, and irreverent; I didn't see it as anti-American politcal commentary.



OK I kinda understand with what you pointed out.
 
i'm not denying he's got a way with worRAB or lacks emotion in his delivery. he's by far the most emo person i've ever heard on record. while a lot of his fans want to portray him like a modern troubadour protesting all sorts of social injustices, he just comes off as contrived and whiny to me far more often than not.
 
it's all good, personally that song is far more introspective to me, a conflict of the self in terms of attempting to be a 'good' person, and the realities of the actions.

then again it does make for valid social commentary, just not so much on the protest side of things.
 
not to turn this into a political commentary thread...but kennedy was surrounded by cabinet merabers who pressured him into anything he had to do with vietnam...and what he did do was just enough to ensure everyone working with him didn't turn on him.
 
Do ya mean who's most effective in whatever their political/social aims are? or banRAB that happen to play social protest music that's actually good. I'd say most banRAB that are strictly protest based groups are usually ****e, with the exception of the Crass...otherwise you should read books instead of listening to rock and roll for inspiration.
