If I was a music critic..



          If I was a music critic.. I will choose the song: This Land is Your Land by Pete Seeger to tell my opinion about it.. It’s a nice song in general and I like the type of songs which discuss serious problems like poverty and society standers of living when government is not giving each citizen fair opportunities or donate poor starving people as it was in the period of time called the great depression 1929-1940.. He said:
“ Nobody living can make me turn back
This land was made for you and me
Maybe you’ve been working as hard as you’re able
But you’ve just got crumbs from the rich man’s table”
       Also I like to give my opinion about pink’s song Dear Mr. President which was about president George bush, it was a good way to protest about what’s happening from bad leadership that lead to war in Iraq and unjust society levels that some workers really work hard but have minimum wage and they spent it on rebuilding their houses after wars, and homeless people.. She said:
“ What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
Are you proud? “
        The Song by Bob Dylan The Times They Are A-Changin’ was a great song with powerful lyrics which he arrested for later he was threatening the government to stop the Vietnam War.. It’s a good action that he took as this war was causing a lot of damage and it has no use, The government wanted to stop communism and most of elder people agreed with it while younger people protested against it.. He said:
“Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall”
And Bob said in his other song; which was a beautiful one; Also to stop Vietnam War/Blowin’ in the wind:
“How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before there are forever banned
The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind"
