Protests are a form of protected free speech that is vital to our nation. Our founding documents were designed specifically to protect us from government over reach and tyranny and ultimately recognized the power and duty of the people to resist that government when it fails us. In his timeless essay "Civil Disobedience", American philosopher Henry David Thoreau exhorts us to get up off our butts and speak out lest we lose our precious liberty. America has a great tradition of using music as a form of civil disobedience. As a child of the 1970's, I appreciated those songs that spoke about injustice and immorality, whether it was classic rockers like The Who or the punk music of The Sex Pistols and The Clash. Our country finds itself once again in dangerous times and I think a little Civil Disobedience might be in order.
United We Stand. Divided We Fall. Each One for the Other, and All for All.
