Folk radio and no protest songs

[Larry Weil <kc1ih@mediaone.net>]

I've been listening a bit this week to the folk music programming on WERS
and WUMB, and I am surprised that I have not heard any war protest songs in
light of this weeks events.  The modern folk music movement has it's roots
in the protest songs of the 60's, yet it seems to have become not much more
than a kind of acoustic background music.  The stations and programs seem
to have lost touch with the current events in the real world.

Please note that this posting is only meant to be a comment on radio
programs and their music selections, it is not my intent to get into any
political debates.  Such debates are of course off topic for this list, and
I have neither the time nor the inclination to carry on such debates off
list.
