No you are not. You know that crossposting is a breach of nettiquette, yet you still do it.

The king of protest was Bob Dylan, whether it was about civil rights or War in general or specifically the Vietnam War. In fact the first place I saw those words "Vietnam War" was on the back liner notes of a Dylan album. "Masters of War" is the harshest and was done to great effect by "Pearl Jam" at the Springsteen Swing State Concerts. It aired on Sundance Channel and despite the outcome I’d bet it is available. It had many of the original artists doing war protest songs such as "Fortunate Son" by Credence Clearwater/John Fogarty and Springsteen often covered the Motown protest song "War ( What is it Good For..)". Jefferson Airplane and Crosby Stills & Nash had a slew of great protest songs, even entire albums largely dedicated to the concept. Airplane’s "Crown of Creation" album as well as "Volunteers" was crammmed full of such tunes. The song "Wooden Ships" was done by both groups as they often wrote together. Hope this helps some Jimmy
