A piece on the return of the protest song: “Vox the Rote.” Also, since I don’t find them posted anywhere else, the rest of the lyrics to the Mike Doughty song I mention for fellow Doughty fans:

Down in the mouth and I have right
But I can feel a change is comin’ on
Bloom like a flower in bluest night
Bloom like the sunlight in my song

Dum dum dum dum dum dum dadum dadum dum
Move on, move on
Dum dum dum dum dum dum dadum dadum dum
Move on, move on

All of the words you can’t say right
Burn my ass with anger to no end
I love my country so much, man
Like an exasperating friend

Dum dum dum dum dum dum dadum dadum dum
Move on, move on
Dum dum dum dum dum dum dadum dadum dum
Move on, move on

Now na now na now
Now na now now now

Yeah, I believe the war is wrong
I don’t believe that nations can be steered
Lead the world with smarts and compassion
By example, not coercion, force and fear

Dum dum dum dum dum dum dadum dadum dum
Move on, move on
Dum dum dum dum dum dum dadum dadum dum
Move on, move on

Ads for the Army on cable
Between ads for soda and skin cream
What about the kids that you signed up?
Do you really love them as you claim?

Now na now na now
Now na now now now

Dum dum dum dum dum dum dadum dadum dum
Move on, move on
Dum dum dum dum dum dum dadum dadum dum
Move on, move on

Down in the mouth and I have right
But I can feel a change is comin’ on
Bloom like a flower in bluest night
Bloom like the sunlight in my song
