Since 1996, David Rovics has written anti-war, pro-democracy and pro-labor songs to shame the powerful and rile up the proletariat. According to his Wikipedia page, Rovics “encourages the free distribution of his work by all non-profit means to promote his work and spread political messages, and speaks out against websites or programs like iTunes that charge money for downloading his songs.”

Rovics is currently on a Midwest “Ministry of Culture” tour with singer Kamala Emanuel.  On April 25, Rovics and Emmanuel will perform at the Madison Labor Temple, an event sponsored by the University of Wisconsin Campus Worker Coalition. David Rovics called in to the Eight o’Clock Buzz to talk about his tour with Buzz host Brian Standing.
