Whoa. Bruce Springsteen's new "The Streets of Minneapolis"
-
Suddenly reminded of Billy Bragg.
@BorisBarbour @petergleick
Billy Bragg has released a song too. Apologies if that's what you were referring to! -

Billy Bragg has released a song too. Apologies if that's what you were referring to!I had no idea! Just a spontaneous reaction to the style of Springsteen's song. (In truth, such earnest songs often turn out a bit laboured.)

Whoa.
Bruce Springsteen's new "The Streets of Minneapolis""Their claim was defensive, sir
Just don't believe your eyes.
It's our blood and bones
And these whistles and phones
Against Miller and Noem's dirty lies."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKSoxG1K7w&t=3s@petergleick past time for this type of resistance, reminds me of the anti war songs of my childhood. Yea, I’m that old.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKSoxG1K7w&t=3sI just mentioned to someone a couple days ago that I was wondering when one of the big name musicians would release a song on the level of "Ohio". Didn't have to wait long.

@apriloq @petergleick
Amen. Been wondering when the New Songs of Defiance would kick in bigly.
I hope this generation emerges from the coming years of turmoil with freedom intact and an amazing catalog of music that will fire their souls all the rest of their--and their children's--lives. Great music shouldn't have to be bought with blood and chaos, but here we go again. -

Musikalisch dürftig, dünkt mich. Dachte, er hätte Streets of Phili recycelt. Wäre besser gewesen.
@distincteclare @Kommentator @petergleick Wieso besser? Neue Lage, neues Lied. Einfach ein altes Lied zu recyclen würde eigentlich faul sein, ein Bisschen wie Elton John und sein Diana Lied.

I agree, @BorisBarbour. Sadly, there is an element of preaching to the converted in the #Minneapolis songs of both #BillyBragg and #BruceSpringsteen.
That's not bad. Activist morale needs to be maintained and boosted, and these songs are morale-boosters. But it's also not great. Movements win only when they gain traction beyond their activist core, and these songs won't do that.
