Protest songs have served as anthems regarding war, racism, sexism, ecological destruction and so many other crucial issues. Music Is Power takes us on a guided tour through the past 100 years of politically-conscious music, from Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie to Green Day and NWA. Covering a wide variety of genres, including reggae, country, metal, psychedelia, rap, punk, folk and soul, Brad Schreiber demonstrates how musicians can take a variety of approaches? angry rallying cries, mournful elegies to the victims of injustice, or even humorous mockeries of authority?to fight for a fairer world. While shining a spotlight on Phil Ochs, Gil Scott-Heron, The Dead Kennedys and other seminal, politicized artists, he also gives readers a new appreciation of classic acts such as Lesley Gore, James Brown, and Black Sabbath, who overcame limitations in their industry to create politically potent music Music Is Power tells fascinating stories about the origins and the impact of dozens of world-changing songs, while revealing political context and the personal challenges of legendary artists from Bob Dylan to Bob Marley. 606 $aPopular music$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 606 $aPopular music$xSocial aspects$xHistory 610 $aMusic, power, popular music, popular songs, social justice, change, history of music, politically-conscious music, Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Green Day, NWA, reggae, country, metal, soul, world-changing songs, social change, protest songs, war, racism, sexism, ecological destruction, psychedelia, rap, punk, folk, musicians, injustice, mocking authority, Phil Ochs, Gil Scott-Heron, The Dead Kennedys, politicized artists, Lesly Gore, James Brown, Black Sabbath, music industry, political context, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, political science, hip-hop, sociopolitical songs, union songs, Joan Baez, the Folk Revival, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, psychedelic rock, R&B, Rhythm & Blues, Curtis Mayfield, The Temptations, The Sex Pistols, Public Enemy, John Lennon, Peter Gabriel, Frank Zappa, The Who, The Dixie Chicks, rock music history, music and politics, music activism. 615 0$aPopular music$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aPopular music$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 676 $a306.48424 700 $aSchreiber$b Brad$01260684 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823293903321 996 $aMusic is power$93918553 997 $aUNINA
