https://www.youtube.com/watch?vwCg7AV-a1Yg As you might have guessed from the last post I've been revisiting past eras to find music of resistance for today - the UK and Trump situation isn't a new one, resisting Thatcher, Nixon, Reagan and Bush v1 and v2 created a lot of music pertinent to today. One of those is The Au-Pairs with America: Remember the 50s and Mr. McCarthy Let's have a witch hunt and nuclear party Paranoia in America... Communards - Breadline Britain, still sadly true: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v38Z732OcrdA And Jimmy's previous band had serious political clout too, with the likes of Why? and Hard Rain, which I think is a repost but it's worth repeating: Here he comes this American man, Head so full with a deadly plan, Says he'll tell you says no lies and blood is dripping From his hands, The blood is dripping from his hands. Ooh when hard rain falls Ooh when hard rain falls Ooh when the fascists call what will you do? Ooh when the fascists call what will you do? Democracy crumbles, under what will you do?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?vviWqWQcrRPU And even Boys Say Go then-popsters Depeche Mode were at it too, expressing political fatigue, but also the feeling that love alone can't save the world sometimes. Consequently I've a tendency To be unhappy, you see The thoughts in my head All the words that were said All the blues and the reds Get to me... There was a time When all on my mind was love Now I find That most of the time Love's not enough In itself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v01oLOIBoVUo
