Re: best 'protest' song

Don't really like any of 'em. My favourite protest song is "Double Trouble" by Otis Rush (great Chicago blues guitarist who most of you have never heard of, but, believe me, the likes of Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page have...and it shows). It includes lyrics like "...in this generation of millionaires, it's hard for me to keep decent clothes to wear" and was written while the guy was actually scuffling on the streets of Southside Chicago in the 50's...a million miles away from wannabe working class heroes sitting in their luxury mansions singing "imagine no possessions."
