The parallels between 1984 and 2020 are a bit scary for me: telegenic, charismatic leaders, praised and propped up by extreme Evangelicals, either ignoring an epidemic (HIV/AIDS) or being outright deceitful about a pandemic (COVID-19).\n\n\"I’ve seen a lot in my lifetime. This is clearly the worst, but I wrote a lot of protest songs in the ’80s, and I still play those songs, and they still hold true. And I’m cognizant of the power of protest in music. But when it became clear to me that I should write to the light as opposed to the dark… To continue going down that path would not have served me well.\" https://bit.ly/3mP5Wvp", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
