I do not like such stuff, but when people talk about social change, about becoming involved , about what is important to them that can move me.
dead kennedy's did it right. they wanted to showcase their leader's political anger, well-informed political anger.

yes and no. see, it is good when it is done more intellectually, but at the end of the day, sometimes the angst must be let out through the music. sometimes political music makes a gig and opportunity to vent out so much frustration with out having to go out like they do in Gaza strapped with some explosives or some monks in Vietnam... in other words, the extreme in music is sometimes necessary to contain and channel the extremes in reality.. I can pit away the frustration with the Varukers instead of having to go outside and end up hurting some one, thus refreshed I can approach the more assertive, positive and progressive means of social change..
