HWY 261 (07-04-25) Songs About Social Issues, Songs of Protest


Listen Later

On this July 4th episode, The Rev and Sterling play songs about social issues and songs of protest, but because of an overnight deluge in the hill country, the first quarter hour is dedicated to sending our best to our neighbors who are dealing with flooding issues. The show begins with SRV playing Texas Flood and Couldn't Stand the Weather. After the first promo, the focus shifts to songs about social issues and songs of protest. Tracks included three covers from the late Victor Holk (Kill the Poor-Dead Kennedys, Rainbow Stew-Merle Haggard, Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag-Country Joe & the Fish); we also played Mercantile store by Good Medicine Band, We Can't Make It Here by James McMurtry, Antifa by Ministry, Deportee by Woody Guthrie, sung by Arlo Guthrie & Pete Seeger, and This Land is Your Land sung by the author, Woody Guthrie.
