Richard Barone presents MUSIC + REVOLUTION, (It Could Always Happen Again)

LBCeddie · November 2023

Interesting that Joseevolution is allowed to be openly racists and none of you care at all. Just wonder how his choice of words would have been scrutinized if someone else said them. It’s actually quite funny to me. Wouldn’t you want to inform your cyber friend that their choice of words is not acceptable?

Sigh... always gotta be one in the crowd.

While you are busy saving the world one minute at a time, do you refer to black folks as “The blacks”? Do you believe that is an appropriate choice of words? If I, for example, made a comment about “the blacks” in your thread you wouldnt have changed the name, and asked people to ignore my comments. And you wouldn’t be sighing at comments pointing out the poor choice of words. You literally look right past racism and stereotyping right under your nose based off who is behaving that way. Bunch of phonies.

Change the title to “Selective Outrage”

I really, really love what Richard Barone has been up to these days (and I'm a big and long time fan). I'm posting this in AMT rather than Other Music because a) in this situation, the music is about movement, and b) because this kind of movement to make music relevant in a time of dire situations is so over-due, and c) (a rather selfish reason), because I have been desperate for something brimming with hope rather than hearing and reading the endless litany of despair that defines so much of our time.

Please check out the link. I think many here will find this worth the few minutes to read:

The way I perceive this whole thing is why today’s artist can’t mobilize like artist from the past! You’d think that after all that’s happened/happening in this world artist would come together get a peace festival together, something to let the world know enough is enough! Geldof was the last one I can recall that got Live Aid going

Good point!

I was just talking with my wife about this. We both agree that it's not the job of a musician or band to be an activist or make all their music be about current events, but in times past (the Vietnam war era being a prime example), songs of a topical nature were integral in the music of the time, and events like the festivals you mentioned were strongly supported.

Which all begs the question- In these trying and disturbing times, why is this not happening today? Maybe an effort like what Richard Barone put together will provide a much needed spark. I know it sounds like a cliche, but music really can change the world.

As a side note, I love how the Music + Revolution event embraced a wide variety of musicians- old guard folkies like Tom Paxton and Carolyn Hester, pop mainstays Jose Feliciano and like Terre Roche, pre-punk heavyweights like David Johansen and Patti Smith cohort Lenny Kaye... so cool!

It’s just disheartening that no one wants to step up to the plate! Even on the get out to vote message TSwift stepped up good on her maybe next year more artists will do the same! I read somewhere how the black voters didn’t vote last election like they did for Obama and it dawned on me how all these high priced athletes just don’t give two 💩💩 about spreading the get out to vote amongst their communities! I’ve never heard Lebron James or Michael Jordan or for that matter any other high profile athletes spread thaw message, but you can bet they will promote those $ 200 sneakers that most kids in these communities can’t afford! It’s disgusting I don’t put any athletes or artists on pedestals I’ve given up watching today’s athletes!

"Look what we made happen," the Los Angeles Lakers star says in the ad, as images flash of demonstrations protesting the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor last year. "What our voices made possible.
"And now look what they're trying to do to silence us. Using every trick in the book."
The non-partisan group is among several pushing back against efforts by majority-Republican legislatures across the country to restrict voting access after former President Donald Trump’s false claims of voter fraud in the November election.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/30/us/michael-jordan-voter-suppression-trnd/index.html

CNN —
Michael Jordan and the Jordan Brand are donating $2.5 million toward fighting Black voter suppression.
One million dollars is being donated to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund Inc. and $1 million to the Formerly Incarcerated and Convicted People and Families Movement. The Black Voters Matter organization will receive $500,000, according to a statement by the Jordan Brand.
The commitment is part of a $100 million, 10-year pledge that Jordan and the Jordan Brand announced on June 5 to “impact the fight against systemic racism.” The pledge focuses on three areas: social justice, economic justice, and education and awareness.

Behind the scenes ok when was the last time you heard any prolific athlete implore their fans to get out to vote publicly like TSwift did, black voters stayed home in 16 they wouldn’t vote for the white chick!

What is that? Sorry I’m not getting it

You cited Lebron and MJ as not getting out the vote or being politically active, I posted two sources of both doing just that. Then you moved the goal posts as that was apparently not as good as Taylor swift registering voters. Moving the goal posts. If you look into LeBron and MJ they have a very active presence politically. Are they fire brands? No, but then again that's not their job, they do take a lot more time than most to help and probably have done more than me or anyone I know could imagine doing to help.

LeBron James Launches Website For More Than A Vote To Help End Black Voter Suppression
James launched his website Tuesday for More Than A Vote, an organization he helped found to stop black voter suppression.

So in addition to denouncing racial injustice on his massive platform of a combined 112 million followers on Twitter and Instagram, James helped found a nonprofit group named More Than A Vote to fight black voter suppression and excite minority voters across the nation.

"To my brothers and sisters in sports and arts," James tweeted Wednesday. "We have incredible influence in our community. We need to use this moment to demand change. I gotta be honest…I struggle with what to demand because so damn much needs to change. But I’m starting with our right to vote."

The subject you are presenting is important and worthy of attention, but not here. It has nothing to do with this thread. Please start your own thread. Thanks.

That wasn't the first Post that didn't have anything to do with this thread, so maybe you should've nip it in the Bud then? (I just responded with some facts from the Post above).

I believe that people are still making this type of music and that this type of scene exists in small pockets, however, we are dinosaurs and the public at large has moved on. :(

Folk music exploded in the 50's through early 60's, but it has been around for centuries. It will rise again, even as we dinosaurs fade away.
