In the era I grew up in, protest songs were common, and played non-stop over the AM radio. I wonder what the situation is today? I anyone even writing any?

Here's my shorter ruder rap about RARE EARTH minerals[ I'd post an audio file if I could]:

Deep in the ground, be these minerals

Rare earths they called and they the balls

Techno love ’em but they ain’t evrywhere

If you got ‘em in your ground, y’ain’t got a care

BUT BEWARE

Rare Earth, if you got ‘em in your ground

Watch out for US military comin’ round

Lanthanum,Cerium, really got a in a need for ‘em

Yttrium, Erbium. LEDs light up from ‘em

Batteries, device-screens

Maybe even in your ice cream.

Rare Earth . . . etc.

Worried ‘bout climate, got news for you

Wind turbines, they need rare earth too

No ‘lectricity, we be screwed

Gotta go elsewhere for that rare earth food.

We all know where that means.

Vietnam, Afghanistan, not much in Queens.

CIA and warmonger scum

Lovin’ war, they beat that drum.

Rare Earth, IF YOU GOT 'EM etc.

Rare Earth . . . etc.

And here’s the worst news of the lot:

China’s got — ‘bout half the pot.

Y'know empires come ’n empires go

Fragile as the meltin’ snow

Bye Bye , Adieu, Adios, Arrivederci,

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out

The world is pretty shitty for the majority of its occupants. Thank you so much Caitlin for putting your talent, and your heart and soul into being an inspiration and a powerful influence for good.

Thank you -- but let's all remember - Taliban (mostly Pashtuns) is only 42% of the country population and - it is NOT "moderate"
