American pop music was once rife with political protest. It may have peaked in the 1960’s and early 70’s in response to the forced draft during the Vietnam War but it got a reboot after Ronald Reagan became elected and then in 2000 when George W. Bush lost the popular vote but became president through the Electoral College. For some reason the art of protest is vacant these days even after 4 years of Trump and the attacks of January 6, 2021. Can anyone guess why?
