60's "protest" music era on PBS now.....

[Catchawave]

Original artists. Anybody getting this or is it a regional thing?

[TahitiNut]

1. PBS is regional.

Both SE Michigan stations are doing (different episodes of) "In Search of Myths and Heroes."

4. I'm in SE Virginia, had a feeling it might

be regional. It's called The 60's Experience, and for some reason they promoted it as "anti-war"....and it's much more than that. Hopefully it comes around to SE Michigan too :hi:

9. Only "Myths & Heroes on here in NC. n/t

2. I found...

... four disks worth of "Modern" protest music that I downloaded a few months back from the internet... It is definitely Anti-Bush...

Look around, it's out there... I love it.

5. misternormal: Here's a link to some

songs performed from the Vietnam Songbook by new artists. Is this what you were speaking of?

on edit: oops, you said "anti-Bush", so you must not have been talking about this site for music downloads. Check it out though... good stuff, and FREE!

8. Another great site for comtemporary protest music (and video and more)

is here: http://www.benfrank.net/nuke/Free_Peace_mp3s.html

The stuff is all made free for all by the artists, and the site-owner encourages mass-downloading, copying to CDs, and sharing this music far and wide.

15. Thanks

[misternormal]

16. Thanks... I like all protest music

[walldude]

11. Ah, you state the difference between protest music then and now

in the 60's you didn't have to "look" for protest music, it was everywhere. Once the corporations took over radio and playlists became the defacto standard everything went down the crapper. Tom Donahue must be rolling in his grave.

[misternormal]

14. I remember when...

... all one had to do was turn on the radio and hear GOOD music... not this regurgitated crap...

But then came arbitron, and that was they day the music died.

Thanks for those links... I'll surely check them out.

18. Do you have a link of where you found it?

I have some music.

3. I saw it a while back, it was excellent.

I recommend watching.

6. Oh I'm in heaven, it's fabulous!

Sorry for the false alarm, it is part of the PBS Pledge drive.

I just watched the Animals' House of the Rising Sun guy do the redux, and I feel so young now :)

60's music was the best, in my life so far anyhow :hi::hippie:

10. There was a long thread about it here on DU when it was shown awhile ago

and DU'ers all seemed to love the protest music. I haven't seen shown where I am in NC...but that would figure....Lot's of Military here.

[Catchawave]

13. Missed that thread :(

Lots of military here in the Norfolk, Va area too. Probably why I'm feelin' so groovy :hi: This is RARE.

7. A bit off topic, but...

Here's one of my favorite contemporary folk singers, Catie Curtis's latest protest song. Check it out.

12. You can hear a lot of the same songs during commercial breaks.

Long live the "revolution."
