Or maybe it was just played out and the new thing just came along

That happens too

That's what I believed. Whenever something becomes successful, it becomes the trendy thing to do. When it stops becoming the trend, they move on. Always happens.

I was listening to the new Tom Waits album. He's not totally mainstream, I know, but he has a song called "Hell Broke Luce" that is all about war. His last album had a few songs about war

I had a good home but I left
I had a good home but I left, right, left
That big ***ing bomb made me deaf, deaf
A Humvee mechanic put his Kevlar on wrong
I guarantee you’ll meet up with a suicide bomb
Hell broke luce
Hell broke luce

Big ***ing ditches in the middle of the road
You pay a hundred dollars just for fillin’ in the hole
Listen to the general every goddamn word
How many ways can you polish up a turd
Left, right, left, left, right
Left, right
Hell broke luce
Hell broke luce
Hell broke luce

How is it that the only ones responsible for making this mess
Got their sorry asses stapled to a goddamn desk
Hell broke luce
Hell broke luce
Left, right, left

What did you do before the war?
I was a chef, I was a chef
What was your name?
It was Geoff, Geoff
I lost my buddy and I wept, wept
I come down from the meth
So I slept, slept
I had a good home but I left, left
Pantsed at the wind for a joke
I pranced right in with the dope
Glanced at her shin she said nope
Left, right, left

Nimrod Bodfish have you any wool
Get me another body bag the body bag’s full
My face was scorched, scorched
I miss my home I miss my porch, porch
Left, right, left

Can I go home in March? March
My stanch was a chin full of soap
That rancid dinner with the pope
Left, right, left

Kelly Presutto got his thumbs blown off
Sergio’s developing a real bad cough
Sergio’s developing a real bad cough
Hell broke luce
Hell broke luce
Hell broke luce

Boom went his head away
And boom went Valerie
What the hell was it that the president said?
Give him a beautiful parade instead
Left, right, left

When I was over here I never got to vote
I left my arm in my coat
My mom she died and never wrote
We sat by the fire and ate a goat
Just before he died he had a toke
Now I’m home and I’m blind
And I’m broke
What is next

These times are ripe for political songs. I am waiting for the first to cash in on the 99%

Please lol it ain't happening. And if it does, it'll be the indie artists. I don't expect someone like Gaga to chip in unless there were openly gay protesters.

Sometimes I think that when the shit hit the fan 10 years ago, that people were only interested in being entertained.

Maybe the powers that be don't want us talking about the problems that be.

Bingo! It's the ultimate conspiracy that is the most obvious within the music industry.

Why do you think it took Lupe 6 long years for his Lasers album to be release? It's because those record exces at Atlantic Records (Warner Music Group) were bitching about the album being too much politicaly & socially consciousness and not enough "entertainment".
