The world has gone horribly wrong and there are no protest songs. Where are the Neil Youngs, the Arlo Guthries, the Sex Pistols? We have Lady Gaga and boy bands singing banal, meaningless drivel. Where are the protests in the songs, where is the concern that the youth are about to be given a life of debt and less?
My guess is that they are playing in clubs and small venues and building their base. Whether you believe things are bad or do not, you should still know that many people are unhappy and many of the young ones are unhappy. How come we cannot hear their voices? If they can sleep out at Occupy events then certainly they are writing protest songs, why don't we hear them? It is because the media does not play them, they play Lady Gaga (who I actually believes has a good voice).
Look at the media you are presented with and understand that it is not reality, it is a show. Politics and media are shows that are put on to lead and entertain. The entertainment is meant to reinforce your biases and bigotry. What you are being shown is that it is all staged. That is what reality tv teaches you and you come to believe that everyone is a liar so that you will not hear the truth.
Do not give up, do not give up on looking for the truth. I am not going to say it is easy making sense of this world, I do what I can to explain things to others, do the same. We all know things are not right, the question is what is right. What should we be thinking about and doing?
