Where have all the anti-war and peace songs gone?
If the songs would sell, the record company would release them. If you are an activist, and spend your time focused on such things, I can certainly see why you would be confused to the lack of attention to the issue you are interested in. However, the reality of the market says otherwise. Consider the movies that have been released lately. The ones that have been decidedly anti-war and/or portrayed soldiers as something other than noble, have failed miserably. Americans, as a rule, hate to lose, and dislike whiners, making them far less likely to spend their money on any form of media that promotes those views. Oh, and our music industry sucks, and couldn’t release a good song if they wanted to.
