Protest

In this week’s program Rob is joined by guest presenter, Rachel. The theme is different kinds of protest songs. Two icons of the folk protest era are Bob Dylan (Masters Of War) and Joan Baez (What Have They Done To The Rain?). Barry Maguire sings his 1960s nihilistic hit Eve Of Destruction while Don Fardon sings about the lament of the American Indians with the poignant Indian Reservation. A pro feminist song way before its time is LGBTIQA+ singer Lesley Gore with You Don’t Own Me. Aussie protest songs are well represented by Redgum’s heart wrenching I Was Only Nineteen, Goanna’s classic protest about indigenous land rights Solid Rock and Midnight Oil’s iconic Beds Are Burning.
