It truly is wild, seeing us go through such a tumultuous period like my parents saw with the Civil Rights era. In struggle like this, great music is born – from Jesse Welles to Springsteen throwbacks, to Dropkick Murphys tapping into that anger.
Dispatch’s Chad Urmston helped get me through the 2000s with his band State Radio (try Camilo, Right Me Up, Fight No More); Woodruff’s Stick Figure helped soothe the pain I felt through Trump’s first term and through covid (try Weight of Sound, Once in a Lifetime, Take it Easy).
Seeing a mass culture movement of solidarity and peace and love try to rise through all this pain gives me some hope.
