Back in the Vietnam days, it took a while for protest songs to get written, recorded, released, sold, and finally listened to by the target audience. That could take months.
But today, a songwriter can compose a response to an atrocity that day, and instantly release it on numerous platforms, and be part of the actual conversation.
Now we just need more good protest songwriters.
