"Successful political movements have great music. The labor movement; the civil rights movement; the peace movement (Vietnam), and even the Christian right, has had terrific music that speaks to and from its participants.
I wonder what music(s) will emerge from the vast, gathering movement for social change of which the disaster of New Orleans is but a further catalyst?
Can you feel it gathering? Gathering with the political strength of a hurricane that will sweep away Bush's congressional majorities in 2006?
Can you feel it?"-from the post on Booman Tribune by Frederick Clarkson.
