Here is an awesome BBC radio show on the power and presence of political music. World Have Your Say: Live from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland was broadcast on 11 October 2011. Artists interviewed include Billy Bragg. The discussion covers what is political music, its history throughout the 1960s and 1970s and the place for political music today and its purpose. Of particular interest to me is the discussion about how protest music is not supported by the major record labels and the difficulties it has making it into the mainstream.
