Reply #5: Oh yeah, I forgot to say "good play on Neil Young's words"

from "The Needle and the Damage Done"... I have played that song on my guitar hundreds of times. It would be cool to re-write its lyrics with current commentary. BTW, where in the hell are all the professional singers who used to write songs against the outrageous injustices in society? There were hundreds in the 60s and 70s. Aren't there any singers today who have the same convictions? Or do they just want to continue to write the same drivel as everyone else.

Having said this, can you list any current singers who give a damn about society's problems or the injustices being perpetrated by the greedy? It seems as if singer/songwriters are caught up in commercialism so much they are incapable of being a voice of the people.
