"Musix and poltix don't mix, I've found. At least not for me. Music makes me happy, politics makes me bad."

Gene,

Wouldn't music be sadly lacking without:

Sam Cook's "A Change is Gonna Come"

Marvin's "What's Goin' On"

half the Dylan/Woody Guthrie catalogs

Fortunate Son

Paul Kelly's "From Little Things..."

Triage

the majority of The Clash, The Jam, Midnight Oil

I could go on and on...

To my ears, music is never better than when it marries the two: a real mind and body connection.
