I wanted to discuss, briefly, the presence of politics in music. Music is certainly a form of media and has similar, profound effects on citizens. Lets look at the Beatles. John Lennon was well-known for his anti-war and pro-love sentiment. People flocked from all over the world traveled to hear him play music and preach his political philosophy. Similarly, Bob Dylan had a profound effect. Not only was he at the forefront of country music AND paved the way for modern country music, his lyrics contained the essence of the country movement: an anti-war and anti-establishment philosophy. Here's a song that will do the talking for me.
