We Could Really Use a Good Protest Song Now

The archive of my conversation with Rob Rosenthal, the John E. Andrus Professor Emeritus at Wesleyan University, and author of the books Playing for Change, and Pete Seeger in His Own Words, talks about the place protest and topical music has in political and social change.

In listening back to the show on my morning walk, I realized I missed a music cue, and corrected it in the archive.

I also realized that Rob and I namechecked dozens (nearly four dozen), artists and songs that we didn't have time to play so I created a playlist with all of them that you can listen to here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6IiTzqXddaMFj86Kvisxyi?si=57758a7dc56e476c

And if you want more, here's a more expansive list of songs I think address the issues in the current crisis: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3FCSRJ7vj2NDO6Fc2NxfCd?si=86fc363b57c74052
