One of the things to disappear from the nations media screens in
like process of bowdlerisation is the politics in music. And the stories of how
music takes part in our political unfolding. Revealing truths about the world
or supporting us to go against the oppression some of us feel. A concept that I
felt was under 'protest music'.
Oppression only works whilst we allow the illusion of our
powerlessness and lack to be repeated. We must become the selectors of the
soundtrack of our lives. We must direct our own culture and not leave it to the
elite.
