You know, speaking for myself, and I genuinely mean myself alone, i Normally hate political music. I absolutely can't stand it. I like two or three political musicians, namely Phil Ochs and Utah Phillips. That about covers it. Maybe some reggae. No reason in particular, I just think of politics as at best a necessary attempt to bring righteousness to an unholy terrain, whereas music ideally taps a person into the divine. I personally don't muddy the two up much. Like I said, personal proclivity, lots of people very legitimately feel the exact opposite way about music.
That being said, this is pretty chill. "Open Letter to a Landlord," by In Living Colour.
I have a great deal of personal hostility towards real estate developers. I have very old fashioned beliefs about land and property. If you aren't building a homestead for people you love, then I don't give a fuck what you're doing. Austin has developed a strong case of this germ that's been going around, the speculators' bug, and it makes people believe that a little more money is worth betraying your home.
Although maybe I'm just full of it too, since I'm bitter that I probably won't be able to get out of the renter class around here till I'm 40.
At any rate, it's an intense song, and we might as well think about what we are doing/what we have done to this unique little city on the river and near the hills.
