    This month's curated Spotify playlist is all about This month's curated Spotify playlist is all about protest songs —⁠ ⁠ Listen at the link in our bio! 🎧⁠ ⁠ From Bill: "I’m willing to bet that ever since the combination of music and story telling evolved into the “song”, that there have been protest songs. I can well imagine some Renaissance-era minstrel cranking his lute up to 11 and barking out his beefs with the local tax collector or landed gentry. The protest song gained significant influence with the invention of recorded music (see Woody Guthrie) and was helped along even further when it found a home amongst the raucous shambles of rock and roll music. I present to you here a small sampling of what I feel are some of the most successful, and more importantly intelligent, protest songs of the recent decades. Enjoy, and Power to the People!"⁠ ⁠ #nowplaying #librariesofinstagram ⁠#protestsongs #freshbeats #tuesdaytunes #nowlistening #music
